iGPS Opens Global Headquarters in Orlando
World's First All-Plastic Pallet Pool with Built-in RFID Tracking Locates in Pallet Capital of the World
ORLANDO, FL (August 7, 2006) - Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS Company LLC), operator of the world's first RFID-tagged all-plastic pallet pool, announced today that it will open its global headquarters in Orlando, Florida, on August 10.
The offices, located at 201 South Orange Street in the Regions Building in the heart of Orlando's central business district, will house iGPS's executive team as well as the company's information technology, procurement and customer-service departments. Orlando was selected as iGPS's headquarters due in part to extensive supply-chain contacts in Florida and the southeast United States.
"The opening of our new headquarters is the next step in the aggressive roll-out of business," said Bob Moore, chief executive officer of iGPS. "Orlando is a natural fit for our company. In addition to being my corporate home for so many years, Orlando represents a vital link in the supply-chain industry. We helped make it the pallet capital of the world in the past, and now we're revolutionizing the industry at iGPS."
iGPS is spearheading a paradigm shift in the pallet-rental business from wood and other materials to uniform plastic pallets with RFID tracking capabilities. iGPS's plastic RFID-tagged pallets, offer compelling advantages over wood pallets for virtually all industries, like beverage, consumer electronics, grocery/consumer packaged goods, home improvement/do-it-yourself, pharmaceutical, produce/meat and raw ingredients. Manufactured to exacting standards, iGPS's pallets are 30% lighter than wood, hold 2,800 pound loads, are edge-rackable, extremely durable, consistent in size, hygienic, and-thanks to embedded RFID tags-fully traceable.
