Love Hearts manufacturer employs new pallet pool company

One-way trip pallet pool specialist, IPP Logipal, has expanded its client portfolio in the confectionery sector after securing a new contract with confectionery manufacturer Swizzels Matlow.

Faced with issues surrounding the quality and availability of pallets used to transport its products within the supply chain to retail customers and wholesalers across the country, Swizzels Matlow appointed IPP Logipal as its new pallet solution provider.
Swizzels Matlow is a traditional UK confectionery manufacturer with over 600 employees. The original company was formed over 80 years ago and its most famous product is the iconic Love Hearts sweets – each year the company makes one billion tablets with over 200 different messages on them.
Other popular brands of sweets include Parma Violets, Rainbow Drops, Double Dip, Drumstick Lollies, Snap & Crackle and Refreshers.
IPP Logipal’s simple one-way trip pallet service is used to deliver a wide range of confectionery products from the New Mills manufacturing facility to major supermarket retailers, wholesalers and convenience stores across the UK. Around 50,000 pallets trips are made per annum.
