Meeting people anew, you get asked what you do. When I say pallets and lumber, I get two common responses. The first is amazement that there is a company that builds pallets. The second is that everyone has a pallet story: they had a job where they had to stack them or they built a good fire with them or they have seen them made into furniture.

It’s humorous. No one has met someone who builds them but everyone has a pallet story.

This week a story titled “The Single Most Important Object in the Global Economy: The Pallet” was on the internet. It was sent to me from a variety of friends.

It’s cool for several reasons. Nice little history about how pallets came about. Good discussion about the various alternatives in our industry. Features a business partner of ours, Dr. Mark White, who has spent thousands of hours teaching our team about pallet design. Good description of how the pallet matters in the supply chain.
