UPR's pallet rental service to get through busy seasons

The production volume of the Chachoengsao feed mill fluctuates depending on the demand at different times of the year. In particular, during long vacation periods such as New Year's and Songkran, more pallets than usual are needed to store raw materials and finished products. The company utilizes UPR's pallet rental service as a solution to such problems.

The service was first introduced to the feed mill by “word of mouth” from the Nakhon Pathom factory of Cargill Siam, which was already using the service. After trying various sizes of pallets, the company decided to use Type 14 pallets, which were suitable in terms of size and durability.
