PGS Group has added another company to its European pallet network through a joint venture with Dutch family-owned Lecaro. The agreement follows the group’s entry into Italy, the opening of its first UK operation and investments in Dutch and Belgian wood-processing businesses, forming a four-year expansion campaign across production, reconditioning, pooling and raw-material supply.

French pallet and packaging logistics company PGS Group has formed a joint venture with Lecaro, one of the larger independent pallet businesses in the Netherlands. The partnership adds approximately 2.4 million new and used pallets a year to a PGS network that already stretches from sawmills and pallet factories to repair centres, collection services and pooling operations across Europe.
