Fedustria, the leading federation for the Belgian wood packaging sector, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the US-based National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA).

Under this agreement, the two organisations will collaborate on several initiatives, including:
-Promoting PDS in Belgium, in line with NWPCA's global outreach.
-Enhancing networking opportunities and training to connect Belgian and North American pallet industry players.
-Expanding collaboration and knowledge sharing on industry trends and markets.
"We are delighted to partner with Fedustria," said Brent McClendon, CAE, President & CEO of NWPCA. "This partnership reinforces our shared mission to promote innovation, safety, and sustainability in the global wood packaging industry. It is an honour to have been chosen by Fedustria as the exclusive pallet design software for their members. With agreements in Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, Canada, and Brazil, PDS is fast becoming the global standard and international language for wooden pallet design."
"This partnership is a win for both our members and the wider timber industry," adds Filip De Jaeger, CSO of Fedustria. "The Belgian wood industry is deeply rooted in craftsmanship and innovation, and through this agreement we connect that heritage with PDS's global efficiency and technical precision. The software helps our companies demonstrate not only technical excellence but also measurable sustainability, which are key drivers in the European circular economy."
The partnership takes effect immediately. Both organisations expect to announce further joint events, training sessions, and technical seminars later this year.
