Introduction (continued)
CHEP was the first company in the world to think of reusing equipment
to distribute products from place to place. These days we use computers
and other systems to keep track of all of our equipment and still lead
the way in this creative reuse system. The worldwide CHEP organization
operates in 42 countries across six continents, providing equipment pooling
services to many diverse industries.
Around the world, we now:
- Issue, collect, repair, wash and reissue more than 255 million pallets
and containers
- Handle more than 2.5 million equipment movements per
day
- Operate more than 500 service centers
- Serve more than 500,000 manufacturer
and retail distribution customers
- Employ more than 7,700 professionals
- Conduct business in 42 countries
Our entire global business is founded on the principle of reuse, and
we have been reducing resource use and helping the environment through
our business for over 55 years.
