Wood pallets keep vaccines flowing

Scottish sawmill and timber added value company James Jones & Sons is supplying the wooden pallets for distribution of Covid-19 vaccines across the UK.

The company is sole supplier of EPAL pallets to the manufacturer of one of the three new vaccines, which are currently being rolled out across the country.

The pallets are kiln dried for additional strength and durability. Gil Covey, Executive Chairman of James Jones & Sons (Pallets and Packaging) Ltd said: ‘This is an excellent example of the vital role that wooden pallets and packaging play in keeping supply chains of essential products, including food, drink and pharmaceuticals, moving.’
