Company Timeline

1996

PalEx

Our story began in 1996, with the founding of PalEx, a pallet recycler with a national footprint of 62 plants in the US and Canada.

2000

IFCO acquires PalEx

In March 2000, PalEx merged with IFCO, the largest global reusable plastic container pooling company based in Germany, forming IFCO Systems. Over the next decade, IFCO Systems’ pallet management services division grew to become the largest pallet recycler in North America, handling more than 200 million pallets each year.

2011

Brambles acquires IFCO

IFCO Systems was acquired by Australian-based Brambles Ltd. As a result, the reusable plastic container business retained the IFCO brand, while the recycled pallet business was folded into CHEP USA and became known as CHEP Recycled Pallet Solutions.

2018

48forty launches

CHEP Recycled Pallet Solutions was purchased from Brambles Ltd. by Grey Mountain Partners and rebranded as 48forty Solutions.
