Privately-owned British companies Go Plastic Pallets and All Pallets have been acquired by Rotom Europe as it expands its operations in the United Kingdom.

Rotom offers sustainable circular solutions for load carriers in 11 countries in Europe.

Hardisty says: “Both companies have been growing very rapidly in the last years and we are ready for the next phase of growth. 

“We see clear opportunities to expand our client services with the product and service portfolio of the Rotom group and are very excited about the potential of the combined companies in the UK and Europe.”

Rotom Europe chief executive officer Arjan Kuiper says: “The activities in load carriers of recycled plastic and reused wooden pallets are furthermore a perfect fit with the sustainable mindset of Rotom.”
