The National Wooden Pallet and Container Association (NWPCA) has released an updated version of the Pallet Design System™, PDS v.5.4©, that generates pallet specifications and analysis results in the following languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.
Global demand for the most efficient, cost-effective, and safe pallet is drawing pallet manufacturers and pallet users to PDS. NWPCA president and CEO Brent McClendon said, “Adding new languages to PDS not only supports our rapid global expansion, but also provides a significant value to our diverse user-profile in North America.”
Shane Thompson, NWPCA’s board chair added, “These specific language selections fit seamlessly with our international membership, and the international flow of pallets. NWPCA and The Pallet Foundation investments in PDS, totaling nearly $1.5 million over the next two years, further solidify PDS as the international language for pallet design.”
PDS allows users to design the optimum pallet by scientifically determining the safe load carrying capacity, performance and material quantity needed. With the release of PDS v.5.4©, Users have the option to enter the design details, and view or print, in any of the languages.
