Supply chain

20th Century Fox has chosen PPS Direct, part of PPS Equipment Management, to supply it with Düsseldorfer pallets for the delivery and display of DVDs to a major discount retailer.

Derbyshire-based PPS Direct will supply 20th Century Fox with 1,200 timber D-pallets, which are half the size of standard pallets at 800x600mm.

The D-pallets were ordered and supplied in mid-October in support of a promotional campaign and will be used to display the goods in store.

Charlotte Bull of PPS Direct said the reusable D-Pallet is "versatile, durable and stackable and is a very popular choice for transporters of all types of goods in the retail sector".

The company anticipates that if the campaign is successful then 20th Century Fox will repeat the exercise and order more pallets.

PPS Direct can offer rental and management of returnable timber Euro pallets, such as the D-pallet, as well as new and used items for sale.
