Goplasticpallets.com has introduced a new multi-trip pallet box to its popular plastic pallet range – the Trip Box – which offers all the benefits of a traditional sleeve pack system, with the added benefits of improved strength and excellent performance in racking.

The Trip Box comes with a drop down door in the pallet sleeve, which has Velcro attached to keep it closed during transportation, but when open it provides easy access to goods.

Grocery Trader is the bi-monthly magazine for the UK multiple grocery industry. It is distributed in both printed and digital formats to named senior buyers and trading directors within the UK supermarkets, Co-ops and convenience store chains and other key grocery organisations, including buying groups.

A number of customisation options are available for large orders. These include different colours for the pallet, lid and sleeve; screen printing on the pallet base and sleeve; a version without a drop down door; and built-in label holders on the sleeve to allow easy product labelling and identification.

When assembled the Trip Box can be stacked and stored safely up to three boxes high, depending on the weight in each box. In folded-down mode, the plastic sleeve folds virtually flat and sits neatly on top of the pallet base with the lid fitting securely on top; this allows stacking up to 10 boxes high and can save considerable space in storage as well as reduce the cost of return journey trips.

Established in the 1960s and operating from its own premises in Yorkshire, the company specialises in the design and manufacture of special-purpose machines, jigs, fixtures, gauges and precision tooling assemblies.

Quick and easy to assemble and disassemble in a matter of minutes, the plastic sleeve slots into a groove around the pallet edge and the lid locates easily onto the top of the sleeve.

Comprised of three components – a durable plastic pallet base, a sturdy but lightweight plastic sleeve and a plastic lid – the Trip Box differs to other sleeve pack systems on the market in that the pallet is not a lightweight thermoformed design but instead is injection moulded, making it exceptionally strong and robust as well as suitable for storage in racking systems. The incredibly strong structure means that the Trip Box can be used repeatedly, across multiple trips to and from the warehouse.

“We’ve also had interest from a chemical company for exporting goods, a bathroom manufacturer for the home delivery of bathroom sets and from customers looking for a safer and more secure way to transport products. It’s still very early days though… applications for the Trip Box are limitless!”

A Worcestershire-based precision plastic and injection mouldings business has been acquired out of administration. P J S Mouldings fell into administration on August 11 2023, with administrators from Grant Thornton UK LLP subsequently concluding a sale of the business as a going concern to S M Automotive Division. P J S Mouldings, which is based in Redditch, was founded in 1993 and provided precision plastic and injection moulding services to a range of sectors, with a particular focus on serving the automotive market. The acquisition, overseen by joint administrators Rob Parker, Jon Roden and Helen Dale of Grant Thornton UK LLP, sees P J S Mouldings’ business and assets sold to Solihull-based S M Automotive Division as a going concern. S M Automotive Division is a subsidiary of West Midlands mouldings group Stechford Mouldings, which has been operating in the region for more than 80 years. The acquisition of P J S Mouldings’ business and assets sees all operations transfer to the new owner and secures more than 70 jobs. In P J S Mouldings’ most recent accounts at Companies House, for the year ending March 31 2022, the firm reported fixed assets valued at slightly over £0.5 million and current assets at £1.8 million. At the time, the firm owed creditors around £1.7 million within one year and £370,723 after more than one year, leaving its net assets at £241,838. Commenting on the sale, joint administrator Rob Parker said: “We are very pleased to have completed a going concern sale of the business, which secures the continued employment for a loyal workforce in these challenging economic times. S M Automotive Division Limited appears to be a great fit for the business and well placed to serve its customers in the future”. Distressed acquisitions can deliver enormous value - but it is vital to undertake a thorough due diligence process
