On july 1, 2016 in the Spanish town of Segovia, the General Assembly of the European Pallet Association e.V (EPAL) unanimously elected Robert Holliger President of EPAL for a further three years. Furthermore, the following countries are currently represented on the EPAL board: the Baltic countries (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain as well as the United Kingdom and Ireland. EPAL’s successful work and the continuing expansion of the largest open pallet pool will continue with the re-election of Robert Holliger.
Robert Holliger has supported EPAL from the outset, many years as Vice President and since 2010 as President of the umbrella organisation of the licenced producers and repairers of EPAL load carriers. Under the presidency of Robert Holliger, the brand “EPAL in oval” has become what it is today: A successful and protected brand name world-wide, which stands for independently assured quality, for safety and sustainability. Over 450 million EPAL pallets are currently available to the global logistics network, in the largest open pallet exchange pool. Production and repair figures continue to increase: The 100 million mark for production and repair was exceeded for the first time in 2015.
In addition, cooperation with users was intensified and global market penetration strengthened. This includes the foundation of the new National Committee in the Czech and Slovak Republic in October 2015 and the development of networks to the Middle East and Asia.
The main focus of the coming three years of Robert Holliger’s presidency will be the fight against the counterfeiting of EPAL pallets and thus the preservation of the high quality of the largest open pallet exchange pool in the world.
