The superb quality of our products and services provided to Chep – our customers from more than 25 years –   grant Sacchi Pallets golden medal as European Supplier Award in Fiscal Year 2016.

On September 7^th  European Procurement and Quality  Management came to visit our plant and gave us the Award.

The Staff and Ownership are very proud of this success.

Recent research published on peer review journal Food Protection Trends confirmed, once again, wooden pallets’ anti-bacterial properties, especially if compared to plastic.

This study conducted by Boersig and Cliver (M.R. Boersig, D.O. Cliver, The Role of Pallets In Microbial Food Safety,  Food Protection Trends,  October 2010, Vol.30, No.1, Pages 576-579, International Association for Food Protection) states that the number of bacteria decreases considerably when they come in contact with wood surfaces, while it  multiplies on plastic surfaces.

Considering the continuous dedication during these years from Sacchi Pallets to Amref Inetrnational, starting this year Amref Italia has decided to enter the company in the exclusive club Companies for Africa, that includes companies proactive in supporting Amref initiatives in Africa.

We are proud  that Ms. Cecilia Sacchi -CEO daughter- graduated on October at  Bocconi University obtaining an MsC in Management.

The newly graduated Ms. Sacchi has already joined our staff that welcomed her.

With such new entry, the company has  now reached  the fourth generation of the Sacchi family so  involved for almost 100 years in its activity: it  began at the beginning of XX century when the actual CEO great grandfather moved from Abruzzo to Agro Pontino-area,  charged  by Ferrovie dello Stato to produce railway-traverses using local wooden resources out the currently known Parco Nazionale del Circeo. Saved that during the years  the company  focused on producing  packaging for fruits and vegetables and later –now since more than 30 years – on production of high quality wooden pallets.
