History

CHEP evolved from the Allied Materials Handling Standing Committee (AMHSC), an organization developed by the Australian government to provide efficient handling of defense supplies during World War II. When the war ended in 1945, the Americans returned home, leaving behind a great wealth of materials handling equipment at their military bases in Australia. With this additional, sophisticated asset base and already established infrastructure, the Commonwealth government continued to endorse the organization after the war to support the national economy. In 1949, a new government under the Liberal Party of Australia decided to privatize the industry and mandated the sale of the Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool organization. Brambles acquired the Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool (CHEP) on 24 April 1958. This article describes the national government of Australia. ...
