KraftPal Technologies have developed proprietary technologies for both corrugated cardboard pallets and production process. Pallet designs meet international logistics standards as for wooden pallets in regards to performance characteristics. An automated mass-production manufacturing process integrates all developed pallet designs. By managing global expansion of critical business operations KraftPal plans to provide technical and commercial support to clients across the globe, locally!

Message from CEO

The Kraftpal project was designed around the idea of “disruptive technology” projects, where developed technologies open opportunities for swift market penetration globally and extreme scalable business.

It is known from early years after the 2nd World war that a corrugated pallet is needed for the paper and corrugated cardboard industry for transcendental transformation in both profitability and size. Huge effort and resources have been spent to date mainly from the corrugated cardboard industry to overcome this hurdle without success.

Kraftpal always believed three elements were missing in the quest for corrugated cardboard pallets apart from deficient product models; timing, business model and product designs that will allow mass production on a larger scale.

Today, we are proud that we overcame all those hurdles and secured our spot as a world leading company with ability to accelerate supply chain transition to environmentally sustainable solutions. We are keen on pursuing our mission, providing environmentally friendly & innovative cardboard pallet solutions to disrupt the global supply chain. One pallet at a time.

We keep our values of ethics, accountability and responsibility towards our ecosystem together with a company culture built around the respect of each other and the trust of our working force.

Sincerely Yours

Gregor Brajovic
CEO of KraftPal Ltd.
