Pallets – Standard & customised

We manufacture new wooden pallets to a high standard and to a variety of specifications. All timber is sourced from managed, sustainable woodlands at competitive rates. Stocks levels are monitored and we ensure any cost savings are passed on to our customers.

Bespoke wooden cases & crates

Our packing cases are solid on all sides to ensure the contents are surrounded by timber cladding and are fully secure. Our packing crates have slatted sides and top and solid base, leaving the contents fully visible. Most suitable for facilitating customs inspections, reducing the need for repackaging after a thorough investigation!
