Palletways expands into France

Palletways has launched a new distribution network in France, expanding its delivery service coverage across a vast area of mainland Europe from the North in Denmark to the South in Spain.Currently the UK members can deliver to the region covered by Palletways’ Central European network, which covers the Benelux countries, Denmark, Germany, Northern France and Switzerland. Palletways has introduced a new hub in Troyes, France, to complement its existing European hub in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Goods from the UK will be trunked from Palletways’ Lichfield hub on a two-line haul direct to either Nijmegen or Troyes, according to their final destination. Freight delivered within the countries covered by Palletways’ Central European Network will be distributed via the company’s Nijmegen hub, whilst goods destined for delivery points in the area covered by the French network will be moved through the Troyes facility. The network in France will be run in partnership with TCP. The move also enables Palletways’ 100+ UK members to offer local customers an express delivery service, including full track & trace, to the whole of France.
