30 Years in the packaging industry

From wood to metal

The story begins last century in the South West of France, where the Landes’ forest provided wood for many years. Groupe Arnaud was a major wooden crate and pallet manufacturer, one of the largest in Europe.

After more than 60 years in the wooden packaging industry, it was decided to create GPS (Global Pallets and Packaging Services) in 1994. The purpose of this move was to offer an alternative to one-way packaging, by promoting multi-way packaging services.

This solution presents several advantages :

  • economical : cost reduction for the producer and elimination of disposal costs for the final user
  • environmentally friendly : reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at the end of the packaging life cycle.
