Reliable and Steady Supply of Pallets

 

Premier Pallets provides new, recycled, and remanufactured pallets throughout the continental U.S.  Our goal is to supply our customers with quality pallets delivered on-time.  Does your local recycler run out of pallets at certain times of the year?  Premier’s numerous recycling yards ensure a reliable and steady supply of pallets, meaning our customers don’t have to worry about sourcing pallets 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.  At Premier we understand a missed pallet delivery can mean plant or factory downtime and accordingly we secure robust supplies of hardwood so that missed deliveries are dodged no matter how strong the demand for new lumber is.

We also have the capability to supply heat treated pallets, both new, recycled, and remanufactured, that meet export requirements under the ISPM-15 mandate.

Dropped trailers, van or flatbed deliveries, 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.
