New Members 2022: The Pallet Pioneers

George Raymond Sr, founder of the U.S. Raymond Corporation, invented the first transport pallet. UIC is considered the mother of the Euro pallet and EPAL has successfully developed the pool idea of the pallet pooling system (exchange pool). Oliver Richter is an early pioneer of the circular economy and “father of the CHEP system”, the first closed pooling system (rental pool) for load carriers.

The pallet pioneers can claim to have laid the basis for the pallet's success.
