Plastic Pallet Pros

What Plastic Pallet Pros does

Plastic Pallet Pros is a private, family-owned industrial distributor headquartered in Monmouth, Illinois that sells new, refurbished, and used plastic pallets and complementary material-handling containers (crates, bulk bins, buckets, lids, freezer spacers) to US business customers. The company operates a proprietary RRM (Robbins Resource Management) branded product line spanning nestable, stackable, rackable, export, and hygienic pallet configurations manufactured from HDPE, polypropylene, and recycled materials, with load capacities from 2,000 to 30,000 lbs and footprints covering standard GMA (48x40), 43x43, 48x48, and EU (1200x1000mm) sizes. Pallets are positioned as durable, sustainable, ISPM-15-exempt alternatives to wood pallets for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive, chemical, export, and warehouse/distribution customers, with manufacturer-cited advantages of 250-1000 trips versus approximately 6 for wood and up to 65% floor-space reclamation via nestable designs.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and consultative: an in-house phone team and website-driven quote-based pricing model (1-877 number, live chat staffed by employees, cost-per-trip calculator, and a four-step OMP methodology covering Assess, Envision, Implement, Results) replace transactional catalog selling. Revenue is generated through one-time pallet and container sales, a buyback program that purchases used pallets (minimum 500 units) for resale or recycling, and a closed-loop resale stream offering customer credit toward new purchases. Distribution is direct-to-customer via website, phone, and pickup/dropoff locations, with no resellers; marketing is built around content (blog), earned media (Inbound Logistics features, podcast appearances), and Google AdWords remarketing. CEO Bryon Robbins and Director of Operations Sam Dunham lead the firm, which has 11-50 employees and operates exclusively in the US market.
