Your pallet manufacturer

Falkenhahn AG is one of the largest pallet manufacturers in Europe, with more than ninety years of company history behind it. Since 1992 we have produced reusable, exchangeable pallets in the euro format 800 × 1,200 mm exclusively.

A third-generation family business and a global player in euro pallets

Drag to rotate

“Preserve tradition and origin – use technological progress consistently for innovation.” That is the recipe with which this medium-sized family business has grown step by step into a global player in the euro pallet market.

Until 2007 production ran under EPAL licence. In 2008 Falkenhahn AG secured the exclusive licence rights to manufacture the WORLD pallet in Europe – a move that aligned the company with increasingly international markets and the global requirements that come with them.

Investment in production

Seven-figure sums have been invested regularly in recent years in the continuous optimisation of our high-tech production lines and in development and innovation. As the first euro pallet manufacturer with fully automatic contour measurement, we give a 100 % quality guarantee of MFH capability on every pallet that leaves our plant.

Security of purchase and supply

With raw material costs rising, security of supply and predictability matter more than ever. With an annual production capacity of 10 million pallets and more than 80,000 m² of storage space we permanently keep several days of WORLD pallet production in stock. Orders are drawn from stock rather than from the running line, which is what makes just-in-time delivery possible.

With an equity ratio well above the industry average we are among the financially most stable family businesses in the sector. Long experience, high-tech production technology and a central location in Europe make us your partner for pallets in Germany and across Europe.

Map

In the middle of Germany, in the middle of Europe

Geisa sits on the border of Thuringia and Hesse, a few kilometres from the A 4 and A 7 motorways – roughly halfway between northern and southern Germany. The Rhine-Main region, the Ruhr, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Leipzig are all within a day’s reach of the plant.

Within 500 km lie the Benelux countries, Denmark, Poland, Czechia, Austria and Switzerland – the directions we deliver in regularly. Shorter routes mean shorter lead times and less freight per pallet.
