ABOUT
A Reliable and Steady Supply of Pallets
Premier Pallets provides new, recycled, and remanufactured pallets throughout the continental U.S. We strive to supply manufacturers with quality pallets delivered on time. Does your local recycler lack pallets at certain times of the year? Our numerous recycling yards ensure a reliable and steady pallet supply so our customers don’t have to worry when the pallet market gets tight.
Hardwood lumber is in great demand and the pallet industry competes with the railroad crosstie and energy industries for new lumber. Our delivery record is 100% when it comes to furnishing our new hardwood customers with pallets. Premier understands that a missed pallet delivery can mean plant or factory downtime. Therefore, we secure robust supplies of hardwood so that missed deliveries are avoided no matter how strong the demand is.
We also can supply heat-treated pallets, both new, recycled, and remanufactured, that meet export requirements under the ISPM 15 mandate.
Dropped trailers, van or flatbed deliveries, and custom pallet engineering using the Pallet Design System are just a few of the benefits of partnering with Premier Pallets. Contact us to reduce your pallet headaches today.
Premier Pallets is now part of Canadian Wood Products, a major lumber provider in Canada and the US.
