CHEP Aerospace Solutions was launched in November 2011, combining three industry experts under one umbrella - Unitpool, JMI Aerospace and Driessen Services. CHEP Aerospace Solutions is now the world's largest independent network of pooled unit load devices (ULDs) and repair centres.

Brambles Limited is the world's leading provider of pallet and container pooling solutions with a market capitalisation of over $US10 billion and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.  It owns one of the world’s largest outsourced pallet and container providers - CHEP.

Now over 50 years old, CHEP operates across many industry verticals in 49 countries around the world, serving more than 500,000 customer touch-points, including global customers, such as Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Tesco, Sainsbury, Sysco, Kellogg's, Kraft, Nestlé, Ford, General Motors and Unilever.

CHEP Aerospace Solutions has a clear view on the “total cost of ownership” of ULDs in today's fast changing fleets and networks.  From its broad industry experience, CHEP suggests six key cost areas that airlines should look at closely when making strategic assessments of whether to continue to own and operate their own ULD pools:

1. Repair & maintenance costs
2. Capital expenditure costs
3. Costs associated with changing ULDs driven by new technologies or changes to the aircraft fleet
4. Direct & indirect costs associated with lost & unreported ULDs
5. Costs associated with managing peaks & troughs in demand at each station
6. The opportunity cost of revenue forgone resulting from poor availability

Carriers' ULD driven costs are often widely spread across various departments making the task of gaining a clear view on the total cost of ownership a significant challenge.
