US Pallet Supply

What US Pallet Supply does

U.S. Pallet Supply, Inc. is a privately held wood pallet manufacturer and supplier founded in early 1986 and headquartered in Okawville, Illinois. The company produces and distributes a range of wooden packaging products — including new and used pallets, combo and specialty pallets, cut stock and crates, slip sheets, crane mats, and industrial hardwoods and softwoods — primarily serving B2B customers in manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and warehousing across North America. Operations are vertically integrated from timber harvest through finished pallet delivery, an approach the company traces to three generations of timber-harvesting and lumber-processing experience.

The commercial model is a sales-led, quote-based B2B operation. A territory-based field sales force of Senior Sales Representatives and Sales Reps covers at least 10 U.S. states (Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Nebraska, and Iowa), supported by a network of manufacturing facilities across the country. Customers initiate transactions via a website quote request form or direct phone contact with the corporate office in Okawville; pricing is not publicly disclosed and revenue is generated through one-time product transactions. The company sells exclusively through this direct-sales channel, with limited earned-media presence in industry trade publications such as palletenterprise.com.

U.S. Pallet Supply holds ISPM15 certification — heat treatment (minimum core temperature of 56°C / 133°F for 30 minutes) and methyl bromide fumigation — administered through the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA), enabling service to customers shipping internationally. The firm is an active NWPCA member and has expanded historically through mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations of regional pallet businesses, growing from a Midwest-focused supplier into a multi-region distributor. Ownership and executive leadership rest with Greg Kuhl as Owner/President.

Others

• National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA): U.S. trade association of wooden pallet and container manufacturers that administers the ISPM15 certification program; ecosystem participant directly tied to U.S. Pallet Supply's NWPCA membership and ISPM15 compliance posture.
• Plastic Pallet Manufacturers Association: Industry association representing plastic pallet manufacturers and distributors; thematically adjacent competitor category to traditional wood pallets and an indicator of the secular shift U.S. Pallet Supply faces.

Direct peers

• Pallet Logistics of America: U.S. pallet manufacturer and recycler with multiple regional facilities producing new, remanufactured, and custom wooden pallets for B2B shippers; directly comparable regional-network competitor to U.S. Pallet Supply.
• Millwood Inc. U.S. pallet, packaging, and material-handling supplier operating pallet manufacturing, recycling, and lumber operations across multiple regions; directly comparable to U.S. Pallet Supply in product breadth (new/used pallets, crates, custom packaging) and B2B industrial customer base.
• Kamps Pallets: U.S. pallet manufacturer and recycler with a multi-state network of plants offering new pallets, recycled pallets, and pallet management services, directly comparable to U.S. Pallet Supply's nationwide network of manufacturing facilities and B2B pallet focus.
• Cox Pallets: Multi-state U.S. wooden pallet manufacturer and recycler offering new pallets, recycled pallets, and pallet retrieval services to logistics and manufacturing customers; directly comparable to U.S. Pallet Supply's product line and B2B model.
• PalletOne: Largest U.S. wooden pallet manufacturer with nationwide manufacturing and recycling capacity; directly comparable to U.S. Pallet Supply as a multi-regional pallet producer serving B2B logistics, manufacturing, and distribution customers with new, used, and custom pallet programs.

Broad incumbents

• CHEP (Brambles): Global leader in pallet pooling and supply-chain logistics operating a shared wooden and plastic pallet network; a broad incumbent in the same product category as U.S. Pallet Supply but competing via pooled/returnable pallet models rather than one-time pallet sales.

Emerging players

• iGPS Logistics: Operator of a pooled rental platform for plastic pallets serving consumer-goods manufacturers and shippers; comparable to U.S. Pallet Supply as a pallet-category competitor but differentiated by plastic, returnable assets versus wood one-way sales.

Regional players

• AWC Industries: Wooden pallet and crate manufacturer serving regional customers with new pallets, custom crates, and ISPM15 heat-treated packaging; comparable product offering to U.S. Pallet Supply though smaller geographic footprint.
