75th anniversary of Faber Pallets

26-01-2009

Faber Halbertsma Group (FHG) recently celebrated its 75th anniversary in Assen together with customers and business contacts. A great opportunity to have a look at the future together with experts. What does the field of logistics hold in store for us? FHG invited three experts to give their visions: Kees Jacobs from the consultancy agency Cap Gemini; Marshall White, professor at Virginia State Technical University; and trend watcher Adjiedj Bakas.

The burden on the road system and the environment, as well as developments such as the credit crisis: all these aspects will lead to changes in the logistic chains as we know them now. This is a development that was not realised overnight. It also requires innovations, such as the 'paper pallet' from the Faber Halbertsma Group for example, of which Ingrid Faber spoke so proudly. strong and environmentally friendly. But all speakers believed that all the links of the logistical chain must cooperate if a 'new' chain is to be achieved.
