Case studies plastic pallets
TC1 Palgrip® Pallet – Furniture Manufacturer (2023)
Like many other sectors, also the furniture industry needs safe logistics systems. A Polish company relies on the TC1 Palgrip® pallet with full-surface anti-slip deck: This completely closed plastic pallet proves its worth – even with high trip rates – and reliably protects sensitive furniture parts. The sturdily constructed, durable load carrier from the German Craemer Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of (intra-)logistics solutions, is made of high-quality polyethylene and will now be used to gradually replace wooden pallets.
CS1 Pallet – Cheese Manufacturer (Roquefort Producer, 2022)
The production of Roquefort, the traditional blue cheese with protected designation of origin (PDO) from southern France, is a delicate process. A manufacturer of this sheep's milk speciality needed a food-safe and robust plastic pallet specially designed for the extremely demanding transport of this cheese speciality during its various stages of production. The French cheesemaker turned to Craemer France Sarl, a sales company of the internationally operating Craemer Group. At its German headquarters, Craemer, a pioneer in injection moulding with decades of experience in plastics processing, customised its CS1 pallet model to meet the customer's special requirements. After delivering 15,000 load carriers made of pure-grade polyethylene (PE), the Roquefort cheese – with an average annual production of 10,000 tonnes –can be safely transported.
CS1 Pallet – Logistics Company (France, 2019)
The logistics company of the fifth largest French food retail group has said goodbye to the wooden pallet and is now building up its own inventory of plastic pallets. For the internal flow of goods between its 29 warehouses and the approximately 1,600 supermarkets in the chain, the freight forwarder has purchased 330,000 of the CS1 plastic pallets from Craemer. The first pallets were delivered in 2018, and the entire order volume is expected to be in use by summer 2020. The company switched from wood to plastic mainly in order to improve working conditions for warehouse employees as well as to meet the requirements of increasing automation and a policy of sustainability.
CR2 & D1 Pallets – Retail Logistics (Intermarché, 2016)
With over 250,000 plastic pallets rolled out across 35 logistics centres that supply the brand’s stores, Intermarché has left the rented pallet behind in favour of setting up their own plastic pallet pool - a first in France for a mass-market retailing brand.
Plastic Pallets – Kitchen Manufacturer (ALNO AG, 2014)
If you have bought a new kitchen in the last few years you will be able to recall the wealth of possibilities: colours, materials, fronts and handles - designing a kitchen has become a highly individual process. German kitchen manufacturer ALNO follows this trend and offers kitchens that match each individual requirement. With that level of flexibility it is obvious that it is all about logistics in the kitchen industry.
CR1 Pallet – Confectionery Manufacturer (Ritter Sport, 2010)
“Quality and sustainability are important parts of our corporate philosophy, as these have also proved themselves to be economical. A high quality returnable load carrier such as the CR1 pallet fits into our business plan.” - Uwe Peters, Head of Logistics Ritter Sport

CB3 High Bulk Bin – Bioenergy Company (2026)
Organic waste and food residues can be transformed into valuable resources rather than simply being discarded. A Romanian company in the waste-to-energy and bioenergy sector is making an important contribution to sustainability and climate protection with its business model. Its state-of-the-art facility converts these biodegradable resources into green energy. A key element in this process is the large-volume Craemer CB3 High pallet box – a durable transport solution in an optimal size for efficient waste logistics. Since its introduction four years ago, the bioenergy company has been able to transport and process significantly larger quantities of organic waste with far less effort – a clearly positive outcome.
CB3 UN 4H2 Hazardous Goods Pallet Box – Joint Venture Company (2025)
Accumulators and batteries containing lithium require highly sensitive handling in strict accordance with legislation. In 2023, a logistics service provider and a recycling company have formed a joint venture to provide a one-stop shop for the safe storage, transport and recycling of dangerous goods. The two internationally active partners, headquartered in Germany and subsidiaries of a renowned family-owned group, rely on certified bulk bins from plastics pioneer Craemer for their business cooperation. The UN-approved, one-piece injection-moulded polyethylene (PE) containers for dangerous goods have proven to be extremely robust.
CB3 High Bulk Bin – Viticulture / Grape Harvest (2025)
With love and passion, a family of winemakers combines tradition and modern craftsmanship at their vineyard in the German Rheinhessen region. For six generations, the company has been synonymous with hand-picked gourmet wines and fine sparkling wine. For the third season in a row, the winemakers have relied on the durable Craemer CB3 High bulk bin for harvesting and processing the delicate red and white grapes. To their complete satisfaction, the large-volume plastic box, made of high-quality food-safe polyethylene (PE), has been replacing a competitor's product since autumn 2023.
SB3 Bulk Bin – Fruit and Vegetable Trade (Plantains, 2025)
How and where do bananas turn yellow? They only ripen after being picked, during storage. The perforated SB3 bulk bin from Craemer is the ideal solution for the ripening process of this popular tropical fruit. This is demonstrated on a plantation in Central America. The plastic container meets all the requirements for storage: it is stackable, hygienic, easy to clean and dry. The one-piece moulding and heavy-duty construction also make the container extremely robust.
ET Box – Poultry Processing (2023)
Large-volume plastic containers are indispensable aids in the internal and external logistics of the meat industry. Space- and cost-saving solutions such as the Economic Transport plastic bulk bin from the Craemer Group are particularly in demand. Thanks to the ingenious stacking system, these sturdy 300-litre stack-nest containers can be stacked easily and safely. And when the empty boxes are nested, they take up around 70 percent less space. A large Polish poultry processing company has been relying on the many benefits of the ET plastic bulk bin for many years.
CB3 Pallet Box – Food Manufacturer (Kebab, 2022)
Proving to be extremely robust – even at high trip rates: the CB3 pallet box, a combination of pallet and box made by Craemer. A large German-Polish meat processing company discovered this plastic pallet box by chance. It left such a good impression that the company immediately placed an order with the Craemer group's German headquarters via its representative office in Poland. Besides being durable, these resistant boxes have to meet the highest hygiene requirements of the kebab producer: They are used to transport animal by-products which are converted into animal feed. After successful test runs, the company is now gradually replacing its entire stock of containers from a competing company whose boxes were previously used and have proven inappropriate for this demanding task.
CB3 Pallet Box – Animal By-Products (Stafford Bye Products, 2019)
Stafford Bye Products (SBP) offer a secure solution to their customers surrounding the collection and processing of animal by-products. Established in 1989 the Shropshire based company operates country-wide and uses Craemer CB3 pallet boxes to collect poultry, beef, pork and sheep product from cutting plants, abattoirs and slaughterhouses and then in turn blends the category 3 by-products for pet food ingredients.
