REHAU Revolutionizes Material Handling with New Plate Block Series, Boosting Efficiency & Safety

Leesburg, VA – November 8, 2023 – REHAU INDUSTRIES LLC, a leading global provider of polymer solutions, today announced the launch of its innovative Plate Block Series, designed to dramatically improve the way businesses handle and transport materials. Based in Leesburg, Virginia, REHAU has a long history of pushing the boundaries of polymer technology – and this new series is no different. Think better, safer, more efficient movement of everything from raw goods to finished products. For decades, REHAU (you can reach them at 313-892-5864) has been quietly powering industries with its high-performance polymers. You might not see REHAU’s products every day, but they’re in countless things we use – automotive components, medical devices, construction materials, and more. They’re experts at taking plastic – incredibly versatile plastic – and turning it into solutions that make things work better. And their latest offering? A game-changer for anyone dealing with heavy loads and the challenges of material handling. So, what is the Plate Block Series? Basically, these aren't your grandpa's old-school pallets or blocks. REHAU's Plate Blocks are designed to replace traditional wooden blocks, dunnage, and even some conventional pallet systems. They're made from a specially formulated, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) – that’s a fancy way of saying they’re super durable, lightweight, and built to withstand serious abuse. "We saw a real need in the market for a more robust, safer, and cost-effective material handling solution," explains a REHAU spokesperson. “Companies were dealing with broken wooden blocks, splinters, the weight of traditional systems, and just generally inefficient processes. We thought, ‘There has got to be a better way.’” And they built it. What makes these Plate Blocks different? A lot. Here's the breakdown: Seriously Durable: Forget about blocks that crumble after a few uses. These are built to last, even under heavy loads and harsh conditions. REHAU’s HDPE is known for its impact resistance and ability to withstand repeated stress. We're talking years of use, reducing replacement costs and downtime. Lightweight, But Strong: This is a big one. These blocks are significantly lighter than wood, making them easier for workers to handle. Less strain means fewer injuries and increased productivity. But don't let the weight fool you – they still provide incredible support. Improved Safety: No more splinters! The smooth, non-porous surface of the HDPE eliminates the risk of injuries from damaged blocks. This isn’t just about comfort; it's about creating a safer working environment. Stackable & Versatile: The Plate Blocks are designed to stack securely, maximizing storage space. They’re also incredibly versatile – use them for everything from creating temporary platforms to supporting heavy equipment. Think of them as building blocks for efficiency. Moisture & Chemical Resistance: Unlike wood, these blocks won't rot, absorb moisture, or be damaged by most chemicals. This makes them ideal for use in a wide range of environments, including outdoor storage and industrial facilities. Cost-Effective: While the initial investment might be slightly higher than traditional wood blocks, the long-term cost savings are significant. Reduced replacement costs, lower labor costs (due to easier handling), and increased efficiency all add up. Recyclable: REHAU is committed to sustainability. The Plate Blocks are made from recyclable materials, minimizing their environmental impact. Who can benefit from the Plate Block Series? Pretty much anyone who handles materials. Here are just a few examples: Manufacturing: Supporting heavy equipment, creating temporary work platforms, and protecting finished goods. Construction: Providing stable bases for materials, creating temporary flooring, and protecting surfaces from damage. Warehousing & Logistics: Improving pallet stability, protecting goods during transport, and maximizing storage space. Automotive: Supporting parts during assembly, protecting finished vehicles during transport. Events & Entertainment: Creating temporary stages, supporting equipment, and providing stable bases for structures. Agriculture: Supporting heavy machinery, creating stable bases for equipment, protecting produce during storage. Beyond the Product: REHAU's Commitment to Innovation The Plate Block Series isn’t just about a new product; it's a reflection of REHAU’s ongoing commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. The company’s engineers worked closely with industry professionals to develop a solution that addresses real-world challenges.
