Fortec Distribution introduces five new products to portfolio with Euro pallet range
Fortec Distribution Network, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pall-Ex Group, is offering its members a market leading product portfolio by introducing the ‘Euro Pallet’ range.
Recently, Pall-Ex Group embarked on its biggest product range review in over 10 years to
ensure Fortec and Pall-Ex members enjoy the most competitive range of pallet options in the industry, improving both flexibility and efficiency.
The review resulted in the introduction of the Euro Pallet Base range and the unique Parcel
Pallet into the Fortec network, which will support consignments up to 1200kg. This will see the introduction of 5 new products, including: • Parcel Pallet: 0.8 x 0.6 x 1.0 (up to 150kg) • Euro Quarter: 1.2 x 0.8 x 0.6 (up to 300kg) • Euro Half: 1.2 x 0.8 x 1.0 (up to 500kg) • Euro Light: 1.2 x 0.8 x 2.2 (up to 600kg) • Euro Full: 1.2 x 0.8 x 2.2 (up to 1200kg)
The new range will complement the existing standard tariff, including Fortec’s unique oversized
pallet offering. Collectively, the Standard and Euro tariffs offer Fortec members the most comprehensive range of pallet dimensions available in the express palletised freight industry.
Further innovation and market research has resulted in the launch of the Parcel Pallet which is unique within the sector. The Parcel Pallet targets the grey area of the express delivery market, which sits between large parcel and small pallet consignments. It provides customers with a cost-effective, efficient, and secure way to send large parcel and multiple parcel consignments.
These additions to the product range give Fortec members the ability to offer complete
flexibility to their customers, catering to a wider range of palletised freight requirements by allowing customers to choose the most appropriate pallet size for their freight.
Barry Byers, Managing Director – UK Group, at Pall-Ex, says “We’re very pleased to offer
Fortec members this comprehensive range of products, the most competitive in the sector. We are always striving to provide service excellence and value to everyone who utilises the network and this improved product range ensures we can do just that.”
visitors alike with a platform to engage in critical discussions, as well as offering an exciting opportunity to explore ground-breaking green technologies which will be showcased throughout the two-day event. The show will take centre stage as a part of the Environmental Services & Solutions Expo – which acts as one of Europe’s most prominent events dedicated to the environmental services sector. Bradshaw’s range of Goupil Electric Utility Vehicles will be on display at the event, along with their T700/T400 and PT-400 tow tractors as well as their road legal bin trailer.

KNAPP partners with Packsize to develop sustainable packaging solutions
Together, the companies have developed a fully automated packaging solution that has been deployed in multiple Walmart distribution facilities in the US. This joint project has reduced Walmart’s cardboard waste by over a quarter and more than halved its use of filler material.
Right-sized packaging saves space and costs Everyone is familiar with placing an online order and finding that the goods arrive in a box that is far too big and stuffed with filler material. This not only means excess waste but also that valuable space on delivery vehicles is not optimised due to transporting air. However, the combination of automation technology from KNAPP and right-sized packaging technology from Packsize minimises the number of cartons used and the amount of filler material required in packages. By making packaging more intelligent, space can be used more efficiently. The results are a phenomenal step forward in terms of sustainability – reduced cardboard waste, fewer trips for delivery vehicles and lower personnel costs – as well as creating a better experience for customers. For companies in segments such as online retail, this provides clear competitive advantage.

The need for removing vibration in machining processes
MAQ is based on the idea of reducing vibration in machining processes. It all began when Dr. Qilin Fu was a doctoral student at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. He studied the effects of vibration on machining and realized the technology needed improvement. Qilin proceeded to investigate different systems and materials he could apply to the problem.
MAQ was founded in 2017 Qilin reached a breakthrough in 2015 with the use of polymers. The following year, Qilin and his partners Mihai Nicolescu and Amir Rashid applied for a patent. MAQ was later founded and the name came from a combination of the first names of the co-founders. In 2017, MAQ began to take form, and early investors helped fund the growth path. One of them was EIT InnoEnergy. In 2018, MAQ secured its first round of investments from foundations and private investors. Even vaster investments were received in 2019 from private investors and institutions.
