Business Description
The company manufactures custom and standard-size hardwood and softwood pallets for a broad array of industrial customers across southern Michigan and northern Indiana and Ohio. They also operate a successful pallet recycling program that serves environmental and budget-conscious clients.


The recent investment in a new sawmill in 2019 provides the business with a cost advantage versus regional competitors, enabling them to purchase raw logs to create their own boards and slats and avoid the markup from buying prefab lumber. The 14 employees perform all sawmill operations and fabricate new pallets, while some of the refurbishing is outsourced to a low-cost supplier. The company also invested in a large kiln to heat treat finished pallets and has the official certification required to meet international customs regulations. All finished pallets are shipped directly to customers with a fleet of trucks and trailers that also serve as dry storage and a collection point for used pallets for return to the plant.


The owner started the company over 20 years ago and grew rapidly by relying on a strong work ethic and cultivating new accounts both large and small throughout the region. He is still active in the business but currently moving responsibilities to others in the organization so he can retire to pursue other interests. He is willing to support and train the new ownership to ensure a successful transition.
