Martin Industries, a leading importer of air conditioning systems under its Air Conditioning Centre banner, is using Totton based, Harris Transport and the PalletFORCE Network for the full warehousing, order picking and distribution of its products.  Based in New Milton, Martin Industries imports around 8000 systems per year from China, primarily to electrical wholesalers across Britain.  The company has been using Harris Transport since it was founded in early 2005 to collect goods from the dock and store them at its Depot.

 Originally Martin Industries outsourced its distribution to DHL, but when PalletFORCE and Harris Transport came up with a joint solution, the company was quick to recognise the benefits of using Harris as a ‘one stop shop.’  “It makes sense for Harris Transport to manage the whole operation, as it ensures better communication and greater control,” confirms Julian Martin.

 Harris Transport now takes charge of the complete fulfilment of deliveries – compiling orders as dictated by the delivery note, and then wrapping, labelling, storing and dispatching to PalletFORCE’s Lichfield hub, to be picked up by the delivering Depot to complete transportation.

Archbold Logistics, a successful Leeds-based transport company with six locations nationwide, has joined PalletFORCE, one of the country’s fastest growing palletised distribution networks, in the long-term interests of the company and its customers.

Online Roadways has been voted onto the board of PALLETFORCE plc as the Network’s Non-Executive Director representing the Member Depots.

 Norfolk-based transport company Star Transport has joined PalletFORCE, one of the country’s fastest growing palletised distribution networks, in the long-term interests of the company and its customers.

PalletFORCE brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to its fifth annual Gala Awards Dinner on Saturday 12th May, with an Oscar theme ensuring that the Networks members received  the star treatment.
