The palettenring mission
The pallet market is opaque today. Reseller margins reach 30–50 % of the purchase price, the quality class stated in a listing often does not match what actually arrives, and the buyer almost never speaks to the person who really decides. We are building palettenring to change that structure: to expose the real seller price, to enforce honest quality descriptions, and to connect companies directly — on terms both sides understand.
Four principles the platform stands on
“No commission” is not a marketing slogan to us. Each of the principles below translates directly into how we build listings, verify accounts, and present data to buyers.
PRICE TRANSPARENCY
We do not add a commission, do not charge a transaction fee, and do not buy up pallet batches to resell them ourselves. The figure you see in a listing is your negotiation starting point with the company that actually has those pallets on its yard — not with yet another distribution channel.
QUALITY AS DESCRIBED
Every listing requires pallet type, quality class (new / class A / B / C), quantity, and condition. A structured form instead of free-form prose ensures the buyer knows what to expect — and has a clear basis for a complaint if the delivery does not match the declaration.
FRAUD REDUCTION
Business accounts go through verification: VAT number, business registration, contact details of the decision-maker. The seller profile shows the listing history, industry, and location. Instead of anonymous one-off ads from classifieds aggregators — accountable B2B partners.
LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS
The most valuable relationship in the pallet trade is a long-term supplier who knows your quantity and quality requirements. Filters, match alerts, and annual contracts are designed so a one-off deal can grow into a steady partnership — not another isolated spot.
What you get in a listing
Every listing carries the information needed to decide — no marketing prose, no guesswork. In seconds you can tell whether an offer fits your logistical requirements, and then you speak directly with the person on the other side.
What makes a listing trustworthy
Pallet type (EPAL / industrial / CP / one-way), quality class, quantity, price, location and logistics terms — visible directly in the feed, with no need to open every listing one by one.
The seller has a company profile with a VAT number, industry and activity history. Verification status is visible on every listing — you know whether you are talking to a producer, a warehouse, or a reseller.
Phone and email reach the person who actually owns this pallet stock — not a call centre, not a shared inbox. You negotiate, ask for additional photos, schedule an inspection.

Why it matters
All figures come from analyses by our Managing Director, Olaf Oczkos, published in the Articles section and in the “Paletten-Handbuch”. The numbers refer to the DACH market in 2026.
Typical reseller margin
30–50 %
That is how much a classic pallet reseller adds on top of their purchase price — profit the buyer rarely sees in the listing. On 500 class-B pallets it can mean up to EUR 2,000 of difference on a single order.
Class A vs. new EPAL
EUR 8–18 / unit
Class A currently costs EUR 11–13, a new EPAL EUR 21–29. Choosing the class your application actually needs (not every use case requires A) can cut the purchase budget by 40–55 % without compromising technical parameters.
Global EPAL pool
600 million pallets
That is how many EPAL pallets circulate globally across 50+ countries. Full parameters, EPAL stamps, quality class and a licence trail are B2B standard today — and that is exactly why we require them in every listing.
