Pallets are integral part of healthy supply chain
It’s all about moving items from point A to point B. Manufacturers need to bring in raw materials, then must move out the finished products, which then must be delivered to a new destination for additional assembly or for sale to appropriate markets and on to the consumer. Pallets make it all possible.
The US economy, by most estimates, operates using anywhere from 1.5 billion to 2 billion pallets on a daily basis. That includes moving and storage. When it comes to transporting consumer goods worldwide, the vast majority rely on a pallet system, making pallets—wood, plastic, and metal—a critical part of every supply chain.
At TriCounty Pallet, we understand the value of pallets in the business supply chain. Any delay in the movement of goods can potentially cost a business, whether in manufacturing delays, production downtime, damaged items, or goods not reaching their market in a timely fashion. Pallets move items in bulk, which saves on shipping, while also protecting products from damage during shipping, and allowing secure and safe storage in warehouses.
TriCounty Pallet and your bottom line
Our team understands that reusing and recycling pallets is a critical part of keeping your supply chain flowing. Higher costs for wood and labor continue to impact the price of wood pallets even as costs have come down since the pandemic. Plastic pallets come at a higher price tag—albeit a longer life expectancy—but may be necessary if you are moving food products or pharmaceuticals.
