About Euro Pool Group

About Euro Pool Group in 2022

Euro Pool Group is the leading logistics service provider of reusable standard packaging in Europe. By sharing the benefits of our reusable packaging solutions with our customers and partners, we are contributing to the transition towards a circular economy. Every day, producers, transporters, processing companies and retailers enjoy the efficiency and the environmental benefits of our reusable trays and pallets. Our two divisions: Euro Pool System trays (EPS) and La Palette Rouge pallets (LPR) offer optimal reliability, sustainability, and efficiency in the fresh and fast-moving consumer goods supply chains.

Our EPS division provides reusable packaging and logistics services to customers throughout the European retail supply chain. Our customers include industry leaders in retail, growing, and food processing. With 77 service centres spread across 19 countries, we can offer our services to 27 countries in Europe. At EPS, we service Europe's producers of fresh products, including fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and convenience meals, as well as their retail partners. Our goal is to provide support to this dynamic industry.

Our LPR division specialises in fully outsourced pallet-pooling services for the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector throughout Europe. We proudly serve blue-chip food and beverage producers who ship their products in large quantities. Our vast network includes 138 service centres and over 32,000 collection points in 17 countries throughout Central and Western Europe. LPR works with manufacturers and distributors in the FMCG sector across Europe and is committed to providing the highest level of support possible.

Euro Pool Group’s headquarters are in Rijswijk, the Netherlands. The group is managed by a Management Board and a Supervisory Board, a so-called two-tier board of governance. The Supervisory Board has installed an Audit, Risk & Compliance Committee, and a Remuneration & Nomination Committee. The Audit, Risk & Compliance Committee reviews the annual financial reporting, the risk management, and the compliance of the group. The Supervisory Board provides oversight to ensure effective management. The shareholders’ meeting takes place in the first half of the year, and in 2022, it took place in March. The shareholders’ meeting approved the financial statements as well as the distribution of dividends. Euro Pool Group has experienced a growth trend for many years. Its turnover increased from €722 million to €796 million, a rise of 10% in 2022. Sustainability strategy and decisions are approved by the Management Board. In its decision-making process, it carefully balances the impact on both economic, environmental and social factors and recognises that decisions have an impact beyond the organisation. Euro Pool Group strives to make responsible choices that benefit its stakeholders and society.
