kevinjuber — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 22:35:44 +0000

On March 16th, 2010 PDL added 2 new fully automated stretch machines to improve the efficiency of our pallet wrapping operation. These machines not only wrap each pallet faster, but apply an optimal number of wraps. PDL is continually looking for innovative ways to deliver our customers product damage free, on-time and at a fair rate. By utilizing these automated machines PDL will be able to reduce the amount of wrap apllied to an average pallet by almost 70%, which will reduce the amount of wrap that enters the waste stream.
