Our Products
Pallets are our main product. Our sawmills also produce residual wood and biomass.
Primary Product
Our sawmills, nailing machines, and trucks are all set up to build pallets correctly and deliver them on time. We’ve been building pallets for more than 60 years.
We build more than 100 different sizes each year for customers in plastics, chemicals, paint, grocery, and consumer products. Before the 1990s, wooden pallets in the U.S. rarely deviated from the 48x40 Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) spec. The GMA still accounts for about 30% of new wooden pallet production. The rest are custom sizes, and most of what we build is custom.
For custom orders, we use the Pallet Design System© to engineer a pallet for the load it will carry. Contact us with your requirements.
What we can build
Construction Type
Stringer or block pallets, in standard or custom configurations.
Entry & Access
Two-way or four-way forklift entry, and reversible designs with identical top and bottom decks.
Size Range
Common sizes run from 30" to 60" per side.
Lumber
Green or kiln-dried (KD) pine, chosen to suit your application and cost target.
Finishing Options
Wings, chamfered lead boards, and clipped corners as your load or racking system requires.
Production Method
95% built on automated Viking nailing machines. The remaining 5% are hand-built when the design requires it.
Heat Treating & ISPM 15
Export shipments require ISPM 15 compliance. We are qualified and inspected by Timber Products Inspection. Every heat-treated pallet ships with the IPPC mark. Read more about our heat treating process →
Every log that enters our mills is put to use.
By-Product
Sawing square lumber from round logs always leaves material behind, and that material has its own markets.
Wood residuals are inexpensive, widely available, and easy to transport. They include cut stock that didn’t make grade, wood chips, and coarse and fine sawdust, and they can often be processed to meet specific requirements for size, moisture content, or weight.
Contact us to discuss what you need.
Common outlets
Boiler Fuel
Paper mills and industrial facilities use wood chips and sawdust as a cost-effective fuel source.
Playground Material
Engineered wood chips and mulch for surfaces that meet safety and certification standards.
Landscaping
Bulk mulch and chip material for commercial and residential applications.
Chicken House Bedding
Sawdust and fine chips widely used as poultry house litter across the South.
Wood Pellet Manufacturing
Compressed wood pellets for residential and commercial heating fuel.
Sludge Solidification
Industrial sawdust used as an absorbent in waste management applications.
Energy
We’ve produced biomass as a by-product of our wood operations for more than 60 years. Several biomass-fueled plants have opened in East Texas in recent years, drawn by the volume of wood processed in the region.
Wood biomass is usually much cheaper than fossil fuels, and local supply keeps transportation costs low.

90%
Lower CO₂ than fossil fuel
Burning wood biomass produces roughly 90% less CO₂ than equivalent fossil fuels. It is also a renewable fuel.
Minimal Contaminants
Wood fuel contains minimal sulfur and heavy metals. Particulate emissions can be controlled with standard equipment.
East Texas Advantage
East Texas has a high concentration of biomass plants because of the volume of wood processed here, and our mills are close to them.
We quote orders of any size, from 500 pallets to 50,000, in standard or custom designs.
