Case study of plastic pallet in the pharmaceutical industry
Enables Clean Logistics
Hygiene that can't be compromised
One of Spain’s leading pharmaceutical companies, operates under the strictest hygiene standards. In its highly sanitized facilities, wooden pallets posed unacceptable risks — splinters, dust, and contamination could compromise cleanroom environments. Additionally, Cinfa’s advanced automated warehouses required pallets with precise, consistent specifications to avoid system errors. The challenge was clear: ensure seamless, contamination-free internal logistics while supporting growing production volumes.
The company partnered with Cabka, a specialist in hygienic plastic pallets, to overhaul its intralogistics operations. Cabka provided European-sized plastic pallets designed for:
- Long service life (lasting over 2 years)
- Embedded RFID tags for traceability and automation compatibility
- High durability, handling frequent movement across 30,000+ warehouse slots
With Cabka’s solutions, it could confidently move raw materials and semi-finished goods between its two Navarra plants — keeping all operations internal and maintaining the highest hygiene standards.
Measurable impact. From day one.
