What iGPS does
iGPS Logistics is the largest plastic pallet pooling company in North America, operating a rental model in which manufacturers and retailers access shared, 100% recyclable HDPE pallets through a depot-and-iDepot network spanning the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Each Gen 6 pallet (48x40 inches, ~50 lbs, 30,000 lb static load capacity) is embedded with RFID tags and GS1 Global Returnable Asset Identifiers (GRAI) that enable track-and-trace visibility and integration with warehouse management systems. The core service includes pallet procurement, distribution, recovery, cleaning, and repair, with quote-based pricing that customers reportedly compare favorably to wood block pallets at $2-$4 in savings per load.
The company sells primarily to large enterprise manufacturers and retailers with annual shipping volumes of 10,000+ pallets, focused on fast-moving consumer goods, food and beverage, grocery retail, and increasingly pharmaceutical and automotive verticals. iGPS serves 100+ named customers including Costco, Kroger, and Walmart, and supports them with an online customer portal, on-site automation compatibility (ASRS, conveyors, robotic palletizers), and a sustainability narrative anchored by a 28% lower global warming impact per Environmental Resource Management lifecycle analysis and 278 million pounds of post-consumer plastic diverted since 2017.
Commercially, iGPS uses an enterprise field-sales motion augmented by digital content, trade publication presence, and trade-show activity. The company emerged from bankruptcy in 2013 under CEO Jeff Pepperworth, brought pallet manufacturing in-house at a Dallas facility in October 2021, and continues to expand its product line with sustainability-focused tools and certified pallet generations. Revenue is generated through recurring rental fees on a pooled pallet fleet, with pricing customized by customer volume and contract terms rather than published list rates.

iGPS competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- CHEP (Brambles): Global market leader in pallet and container pooling, operating the largest reusable pallet network worldwide. CHEP is the most direct competitor to iGPS in pallet pooling but at significantly larger scale and with a predominantly wood-pallet offering.
- IFCO Systems: Global pooling provider of reusable plastic containers (RPCs) and pallets across the fresh food supply chain. Overlaps with iGPS on pooling economics, customer segments (grocery, produce), and reusable-plastic technology, but is larger and broader in scope.
- Menasha Corporation: Diversified packaging manufacturer producing wood and plastic pallets, corrugated packaging, and POP displays. Overlaps with iGPS on pallet manufacturing and supply to FMCG/retail customers, though not a pooled rental specialist.
Direct peers
- PECO Pallet: North American wood pallet pooling company operating a comparable rental/pooling model with depot-based recovery and large-retailer customer base (Walmart, Kroger, Costco). PECO is iGPS's closest competitor in U.S. pallet pooling and the natural switching option for customers.
- Tosca Services (Tosca): Pooler of reusable plastic pallets and bulk containers in North America and Europe with a similar rental/return model. Competes head-to-head with iGPS in plastic pallet pooling and is a frequent substitute for shippers evaluating pooled plastic platforms.
- Orbis Corporation: Manufacturer and pooler of reusable plastic pallets, bulk containers, and dunnage serving automotive, food, and industrial customers. Comparable in product technology (HDPE reusable platforms) and pooling/rental offerings to iGPS.
- Rehrig Pacific Company: Major manufacturer of reusable plastic pallets, crates, and containers with pooling and rental programs in supply chain and grocery. Competes with iGPS in plastic pallet design, RFID-enabled tracking, and large-retailer deployments.
Emerging players
- CABKA Group: European-headquartered manufacturer of plastic pallets (including pooled/rental programs) made largely from recycled HDPE. Compares to iGPS on sustainable plastic pallet manufacturing and recycled-material feedstock strategy.
- Plastic Pallet Manufacturers (e.g., Polymer Group / Nelson Company): Plastic pallet manufacturers and distributors serving grocery, beverage, and industrial customers. Comparable on plastic pallet product specs but without the scale of iGPS's pooled depot network or RFID platform.
Regional players
- Schoeller Allibert: European leader in reusable plastic returnable packaging (pallets, containers, crates) with pooling programs. Comparable to iGPS on plastic pooled platforms and sustainability, but primarily serves EMEA rather than North America.
