What Oxnard Pallet does

Oxnard Pallet Co. is a family-owned wooden pallet manufacturer and pallet services provider founded in 1993 in Oxnard, California. The company manufactures, sells, recycles, repairs, and delivers wooden pallets across multiple formats — standard GMA pallets (new, recycled, and heat-treated), custom pallets engineered via the Pallet Design System (PDS), heat-treated ISPM-15 certified pallets for international shipping, and precision pre-cut pallet lumber — serving agriculture, food and beverage, manufacturing, technology, logistics/transportation, e-commerce, and retail customers primarily within Ventura County and surrounding California regions.

The technical stack centers on the Pallet Design System for engineering optimization of bespoke pallet designs and the Pallet Connect ERP platform, which powers a 24/7 Customer Portal enabling self-serve online ordering, inventory management, and quality control/quality assurance checks before dispatch. ISPM-15 heat treatment certification is delivered in partnership with Package Research Laboratory (accredited by ALSC and NWPCA), with in-house heat treatment services in development. Distribution is hybrid: a sales-led direct channel via phone, email, and web quote forms, complemented by self-serve portal ordering and an owned delivery fleet providing regional last-mile service.

The revenue model combines one-time sales of new and recycled pallets, custom manufacturing at higher unit pricing, professional services (repair/refurbishing, heat treatment, in-house logistics), and a transaction-fee buyback program that acquires used 48x40 4-way pallets for recycling into new production. Pricing is quote-based with volume discounts and a 3% credit card transaction fee; no public pricing or revenue figures are disclosed. The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding or institutional investors, and is led by a small internal team that includes a Human Resources Manager, Jeanette Villanueva.
