Pallet shipping expansion
Although we don't currently offer Palletways EU services, we still want to celebrate the successes of our partners in their global expansion. In recent years, Palletways has grown and established facilities in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and Germany. Today, Palletways has European services running to 24 European countries with 23 strategically placed hubs.
In 2016, Palletways delivery partnered with Imperial Logistics, an African and European logistics provider, and the business has continued to grow from strength to strength. This partnership with Imperial Logistics has allowed Palletways to become "the European Pallet Network" for anyone looking for express palletised freight and shipping large and bulky items.
