German manufacturer of reusable transport products Cartonplast (CPL, Dietzenbach; www.cartonplast.com) has added a second washing line at its service centre in Myslowice / Poland to meet rising demand. “By installing the second washing line we have doubled the annual washing capacity to 14m layer pads and at the same time increased the quality level of the pool service for our customers,” said Michael Heikenfeld, chief sales officer and managing director.

The company operates a pool system for renting reusable transport plastic layer pads for delivering glass, cans and PET containers to fillers in the beverage, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. From the beginning of 2020, Cartonplast will also retrofit water neutralisation equipment to its washing system.

Cartonplast said it intends to grow in the coming years through expanding in international markets and extending its product range, for example by additionally renting tailor-made plastic pallets, especially for the glass container industry. In April 2019, the company inaugurated a new service centre at its main site in Dietzenbach – see Plasteurope.com of 18.04.2019.
