  • Innovation in Design: As an industry leader, Millwood remains on the cutting edge of pallet technology. Our ISTA-certified Test Lab allows us to assess unit load performance by simulating real-world hazards that your load could face in transport. During testing, our experts observe how the pallet, packaging and material handling systems perform as one unit.

  • Sustainability Focused: Our recycled pallets keep waste out of landfills and save our customers money at the same time. We have also developed comprehensive recycling programs, reducing not only wood waste but carbon emissions as well.

  • Custom Solutions: Millwood’s capabilities provide a unique opportunity to craft the ideal pallet solution for a variety of industries as well as individual products. The specially-engineered solutions allow for a safer product shipping process, saving money in the long run by preventing damage. The right custom pallet can also reduce warehouse or shipping container footprint, which in turn reduces costs.
