During the World Pallet Council (WPC) meeting, the National Wooden Pallet Association (NWPCA) was designated to act as a clearinghouse for worldwide information concerning pallet developments, business trends and regulations coming from various countries.

NWPCA will offer space on its Web site (www.palletcentral.com) where members of the WPC can access and submit data. NWPCA will then make important information available to its own membership as well as pallet users in allied industries, including readers of Modern Materials Handling.

"We will reach out to users and share information that is important to unit load management," says Bruce Scholnick, NWPCA president.
