Accumulators and batteries containing lithium require highly sensitive handling in strict accordance with legislation. In 2023, a logistics service provider and a recycling company have formed a joint venture to provide a one-stop shop for the safe storage, transport and recycling of dangerous goods. The two internationally active partners, headquartered in Germany and subsidiaries of a renowned family-owned group, rely on certified pallet boxes from plastics pioneer Craemer for their business cooperation. The UN-approved, one-piece injection-moulded polyethylene (PE) boxes for dangerous goods have proven to be extremely robust.

The newly developed E3-5 pallet from Craemer is a robust all-rounder among heavy-duty pallets. For the love of nature and the environment, the German plastics pioneer now offers this load carrier made of durable, high-quality polyethylene (PE) as a Zero Virgin version. This particularly sustainable version is made of 100 per cent recycled plastic. The entire E3-5 series features a robust construction that ensures durability even with frequent use, very high load-bearing capacity and excellent bending stiffness.

Reliable (intra-)logistics systems with professional palletising require durable, practical and economical solutions to store goods and transport them from A to B in a quick and smooth manner, without damage. With the EURO L1®, the Craemer Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of logistics solutions, has developed a robust plastic pallet that meets the highest logistical requirements. Combined with the CC1 pallet collar, it forms a stable, reusable packaging unit.

This pallet presents itself as a sturdy all-rounder among heavy-duty pallets: the newly designed E3-5 from Craemer. Like all load carriers from the Germany-based Craemer Group with more than 60 years' experience in plastics processing, it is made of durable, high-quality polyethylene and has a robust construction – which means a long service life, even with a high number of trip rates. Manufactured in one piece, it features a very high load-bearing capacity and excellent bending stiffness. As a result, the E3-5 pallet could become indispensable in the (intra)logistics of many industries in the future.

Like many other sectors, the furniture industry needs safe and smooth logistics systems. A Polish company relies on the TC1 Palgrip® pallet with full-surface anti-slip deck: This completely closed plastic pallet proves its worth – even with high trip rates – and reliably protects sensitive furniture parts. The sturdily constructed, durable load carrier from the Germany-based Craemer Group, parent company of the Craemer US Corporation and one of the world's leading manufacturers of (intra-)logistics solutions, is made of high-quality polyethylene and will now be used to gradually replace wooden pallets.

Whether red or white wine – the winemaking family of a small winery in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, uses the Craemer CB3 High plastic bulk bins for their hand-picked “connoisseur wines” and sparkling wine from their own vineyards. Utilized since the fantastic grape harvest in fall 2023, this large-volume grey plastic bulk container has provided “reliable support for a smooth and gentle process”. An Austrian winery in Styria also relies on a Craemer product – the SB3 plastic bulk bins with closed walls.

Durability, sustainability, environmental friendliness: new standards apply to (intra-)logistics processes relating to production, transport and storage – including load carriers. High quality, durable, hard-wearing, versatile, maintenance-free and recyclable: These are the features of pallets and containers that ensure sustainable and economical (warehouse) logistics. As one of the world's leading manufacturers of durable logistics solutions with more than 60 years of experience in plastics processing, the Craemer Group develops and produces high-quality reusable load carriers with exactly these characteristics. A prime example is the EURO L1® plastic pallet – made of plastic instead of wood. In the production of its plastic products, the Group is increasingly focusing on self-made recycled materials and on renewable energies.

A sustainable and optimum utilisation of storage and transport space requires space-saving load carriers that are also robust and durable. With the NP1 Euro pallet, the Craemer Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of logistics solutions with over 60 years of experience in plastics processing, has expanded its range to include a nestable, lightweight, and robust plastic pallet made of high-quality polyethylene (PE) that fulfils the highest logistical requirements.

At the end of 2023, Craemer GmbH (Craemer Group’s headquarters) had a good reason to celebrate:  District Administrator Dr Olaf Gericke, Head of the Building Department Dr Herbert Bleicher and Mayoress Karin Rodeheger presented the company’s Managing Directors and one of their Managing Partners with the planning permission to build a company-owned wind turbine at their site in Oelde. The approval in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act was granted about five months after the complete application was submitted to the district building authority. “It is important for us to process applications quickly and issue planning permissions promptly. This is also a form of supporting economic development,”, says Dr Gericke. Craemer Managing Director Siegbert Geldner emphasises: “This was also made possible by bringing together all involved parties in a close-knit project group, which –under the leadership of architect Dr. Mathias Eisenmenger – met every two weeks.”

One clever way to expand the use of Euro pallets is to combine them using pallet frames. The result is a stable and reusable packaging unit that ensures loads are reliably protected while avoiding packaging waste and thus saving on disposal costs. And integrated handles, movable locking elements and a sophisticated folding mechanism all make the new CC1 Euro collapsible pallet frame from Craemer particularly easy to handle. Other advantages include variable application options, enormous volume reducibility and slip resistance.

The quality, durability and robustness of the pallets and containers used in load carrier pooling are particularly important. Due to the often strenuous daily handling and extremely high trip rates, they must be extremely resistant to breakage and impact in order to prove themselves in the long term. The Craemer Group, the world's leading manufacturer of durable logistics solutions, offers suitable polyethylene (PE) load carriers such as the CR pallet, which are highly reliable in use.

In many industries, the storage and transport of raw materials and products require the highest level of hygiene. Especially in (intra-)logistical processes in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetics industries, the use of load carriers that meet the strictest hygienic requirements and legal specifications is essential. The Craemer Group's food-safe plastic products make an important contribution to meet these challenges: They are easy to clean, extremely robust and durable. The EURO H1 plastic pallet is particularly suitable for the logistics and hygiene sector – it carries the GS1 stamp of approval for transparency in the supply chain and greater safety for users.

In the automotive industry, a smooth internal material flow is one of the essential factors for efficient production. The Craemer Group is one of the leading international automotive suppliers with its large-scale production of metal automotive modules and plastic load carriers. To ensure smooth (intra-)logistics in the industry, the plastics pioneer is launching a new development: Kubo, a robust four-way box made of high-quality polyethylene (PE) as an alternative to the metal grid box (gitterbox).

Large-volume plastic containers are indispensable aids in the internal and external logistics of the meat industry. Space- and cost-saving solutions such as the Economic Transport plastic bulk bin from the Craemer Group are particularly in demand. Thanks to the ingenious stacking system, these sturdy 300-litre stack-nest containers can be stacked easily and safely. And when the empty boxes are nested, they take up around 70 percent less space. A large Polish poultry processing company has been relying on the many benefits of the ET plastic bulk bin for many years.

Like many other sectors, also the furniture industry needs safe logistics systems. A Polish company relies on the TC1 Palgrip® pallet with full-surface anti-slip deck: This completely closed plastic pallet proves its worth – even with high trip rates – and reliably protects sensitive furniture parts. The sturdily constructed, durable load carrier from the German Craemer Group, one of the world's leading manufacturers of (intra-)logistics solutions, is made of high-quality polyethylene and will now be used to gradually replace wooden pallets.

Perfect reliability is essential in logistics, especially in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The Craemer Group, a pioneer in plastics processing, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of durable logistics solutions made from high-quality polyethylene (PE). With the completely closed TC pallets, Craemer offers versatile load carriers with a sturdy design, durable and resistant, making them ideal for logistics or intralogistics applications. Equipped with an optional full-surface Palgrip® anti-slip deck, their use ensures reliable load securing – even in extreme situations.
