Book Release: Pallets a North American Perspective 20th Anniversary Edition
Washingtoner/10239242

SEATTLE - Washingtoner -- Some people argue that pallets are legacy devices that have not kept pace with the evolution of modern supply chains. Meanwhile, providers of innovative, technology-enabled new pallets make the case that supply chains haven't kept pace with pallets! Whatever your perspective, this book posits that pallets should be embraced as an element of supply chain strategy rather than a line expense item.

Written by industry veterans Rick LeBlanc (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rick-leblanc-3050151/) and Stewart Richardson, this completely updated and revised edition of Pallets a North American Perspective (https://a.co/d/dYsJeUS) provides a comprehensive introduction to pallets and the pallet industry. It is a valuable introduction for anyone wanting to better understand pallets and pallet markets. For industry insiders, the book can broaden your scope of industry knowledge and, for pallet customers, it is a useful introduction to the nuances of this supply chain staple.
