Many are no doubt happy to put 2023 behind them, challenging as it was. Smart Retur performed relatively well despite the combined challenges of interest rate hikes, high electricity prices and inflation.
During 2023, we invested in 3 new warehouses in Scandinavia. This is to ensure that our customers have quick access to pallets wherever they need them, but also to streamline and optimize the transport and distribution network so that unnecessary freight is avoided. We have signed agreements with several new major suppliers and customers, which will strengthen our position with both existing and new customers. As a partner, SmartRetur will therefore ensure delivery for its customers even in times of lower supply. The investment in 2023 ensured that 17 million reusable pallets were not thrown away but put into circulation for our partners. We repaired 5.4 million pallets, and therefore ensured that the reuse rate for SmartRetur was as high as 98,4%. |
