Every customer considering pallet rental should first talk to Demes, one of Europe's leading suppliers of pallet hire and layer pad rental services. Demes will be able to give you a range of options which may include pallet hire but could also feature other methods of pool management, such as buy back arrangements.

Demes specialises in packaging logistics offering a full range of services including pallet rental, layer pad hire, pallet pooling and pool management systems including the use of advanced tracking software.

Demes expertise enables customers to choose between closed loop systems based on pallet rental or pallet pool ownership as well as layer pad hire or layer pad ownership. With returnable systems using plastic pallets and plastic layer pads becoming ever more popular, companies want to achieve the best value for money from their pallet pooling techniques. Packaging logistics and packaging management generally has become more sophisticated and efficient in recent years with sometimes expensive pallet rental giving way to ownership of the packaging assets, the costs of which are efficiently amortised.

A key issue is how to exert complete control over the entire packaging logistics operation, ensuring minimum wastage and maximum usage of pallet pools and plastic layer pads. Demes has developed a pool management system based on real time tracking and methods such as closed loops which draw all suppliers into an optimised supply chain.

The Demes approach to packaging logistics and pool management is comprehensive. Whether using pallet rental and layer pad hire or other packaging logistics systems, Demes offers pool management par excellence, including cleaning and repair of plastic pallets and layer pads as well as bespoke services designed to maximise the value of the pallet pooling methodology
