Jim Ritchie Group President CHEP Americas

When you think of CHEP you may only think of the blue pallet. But at CHEP, pallets are just the tip of one amazing logistical iceberg. If you could see what’s behind it, you’d see thousands of dedicated people, working hard to make sure things get where they need to be in a more streamlined manner than other platform options. If you could imagine its extensive network, you’d see 46 countries working together to create seamless supply chains around the world. If you could see the value, you’d see thousands of companies saving millions on logistics, and as a result, having more money to invest in other areas to make things a bit better. Maybe a lot better. If you could see the technology, you’d see a mega trillion bytes of information whizzing through the electronic universe between CHEP and its customers. And if you could see everything it shipped, you’d see the products we all use every day moving around the world more efficiently than ever before. Soap, shampoo, coffee, produce, auto parts, ice cream, batteries, electrical components. You name it, CHEP pallets help move it. So next time you look at a CHEP pallet, don’t be fooled by its modest appearance. This environmentally sustainable solution is a powerful catalyst in the global economy and it touches our lives everyday.
