UPL officially opened its brand new Grangemouth service centre in June 2009 where it inspects and repairs 4 million Chep pallets per annum.
This new facility operates on a 3 shift basis and employs over 80 workers. New “state of the art” machinery has been installed and UPL and CHEP’s considerable knowledge and experience in the area of efficient pallet inspection and repair operations has been used in designing the plant layout and machinery.
Gil Covey, MD of Unit Pallets stated “This is a logical development of our long and proven partnership with CHEP for pallet repairs. This considerable financial investment underlines the strength of the James Jones Group and its willingness to invest in suitable projects in its core business market.
The site at Grangemouth is ideally placed to handle the flows of CHEP pallets in Scotland and is situated close to the M9 motorway. This highly efficient and strategically situated Service Centre will provide a first class service to CHEP and its clients.
The management of UPL is looking forward to making a success of this exciting new venture”.
