PalletBiz in Germany

Gateway to conquering Western European markets

Establishing a presence in Germany has been a major strategic achievement for the PalletBiz network. PalletBiz Germany, our main franchise, has been preparing for market penetration in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) since the beginning of 2023 – and now, active operations are underway at two production locations.

Penetrating the German market was a natural continuation of the overall growth strategy of the PalletBiz Group – and it has been in the works for many years. The ideas for expansion into Western Europe finally became a reality in 2022 through the partnership with Mr. Jan Schäfer, co-founder and co-owner of PalletBiz Germany. ‘Our goal is to build the full range of PalletBiz products – and to fully realize the ‘one call for all’ approach,’ summarizes Mr. Schäfer.

Adding local sourcing capabilities and a production footprint was the main strategic direction for PalletBiz Germany in the first year. Research focused on finding a production partner in NRW, which led to the acquisition of a pallet company in the southeastern ‘Ruhrgebiet’ in early 2024.

Product range

The acquired factory has an excellent location, an extensive fleet, and a unique range of products, and is now in the process of becoming a key supply point, whose production capacity will be utilized by the existing operations in the DACH region. The factory specializes in the following products:

Wooden crates of any type, size, and shape
Special pallets
Cartons and other packaging materials

Developing expertise towards sustainable packaging solutions

In parallel with managing the acquisition of the factory, PalletBiz Germany has developed a relationship with a company specialized in pallet repair and the second-hand packaging business. This operation, located in Krefeld, became part of the PalletBiz network in the second half of 2024 and will facilitate the integration of a more sophisticated range of products and customers around NRW.

As explained through the PalletBiz Sustainability Strategy, it is a goal across the entire network to increase the share of products resulting from repair and reuse processes, and a specified portion of the product range and revenues must be generated from eco-friendly solutions with a lower environmental impact. The operations in Krefeld excel in related services such as pallet buying, repairing, and exchange – and the same business model will be implemented in other locations within the PalletBiz network for enhanced sustainability and a competitive advantage.
