CHEP ( acronym for Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool ) is a logistics company that specializes in the collection of pallets and containers. The company was founded in 1945 by the Australian Commonwealth government and is now part of the Australian-British service provider Brambles . When the American forces withdrew from Australia after World War II , they left countless US Navy blue pallets in the country. The Australian government originally tried to collect these pallets itself. This task was later handed over to Brambles, and CHEP has been part of the Brambles Group ever since.
