History
In 1992 three packaging pools, part of the cooperative auction houses in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, wanted to put an end to the logistics impasse of inefficiency in the packaging of fresh produce. They collaborated on this and devised a standard form of packaging for fruit and vegetables.
Euro Pool System became autonomous in 1996.
Gradually Euro Pool Systems continued growing and achieved in 2015 a record number of 888 million rotations a year.
