Overview
PAKi provides a Europe-wide load-carrier pooling system that lets companies use an open pool of standardized pallets and containers rather than owning shipment-specific units. It works by dropping off pallets at a location and picking up identical ones at another, supported by a network of over 10,000 drop‑off points and a focus on reuse and refurbishment. It stands out from competitors with its expansive pooling network, long connection to EPAL standardization, and integration with the Faber Halbertsma Group, a major pallet maker. Its goal is to reduce waste and CO2 emissions while making freight logistics faster and more cost-efficient by simplifying how load carriers circulate through the supply chain.
