EPAL reports more than two million EPAL CP pallets produced

EPAL reported on 8 October 2026 that production of its EPAL CP pallets had exceeded two million units following the range's January launch. The association's announcement covers nine types, CP1–CP9, designed for chemical-industry logistics. Read EPAL's announcement.

The figure describes production reported by EPAL. For an individual buyer, the practical task remains matching a quotation to the required pallet, use and delivery conditions. Availability and lead times should be confirmed with each supplier.

Make the requirement explicit

Before requesting prices, prepare a specification that answers these questions:

• Which pallet is required? Identify the exact CP type and the applicable specification or drawing. State dimensions and any customer-specific requirements rather than relying on a general description.
• Is EPAL CP required? Make that purchasing requirement explicit. If alternatives are acceptable, ask suppliers to identify them separately so the differences remain visible.
• How will it be used? Describe the load, handling equipment, storage arrangement and destination requirements. Ask the supplier to confirm suitability for the intended application.
• What condition is acceptable? Specify whether the requirement is for new or used pallets and agree the relevant acceptance criteria, including any cleanliness or repair restrictions.
• What must be delivered? Give the quantity, delivery postcode, requested dates and likely repeat volumes. Confirm whether the quoted price includes delivery to that postcode or applies to collection.

Check the product behind the offer

For an EPAL CP offer, ask who manufactured the pallets and check the relevant licence and product scope using EPAL's official licensee search. Request the supporting information needed for your own purchasing process.

Compare offers against the same requirements, and ask suppliers to explain any substitutions before confirming an order. A clear specification makes the subsequent discussion about price, delivery and quality more productive.

Use the PalletsHub Europe company directory to identify potential suppliers and ask them to confirm their product range and suitability for your requirement.
