The Conner Advantage

Consistent Quality Across Every Order Matters

After nearly 40 years of working with all types of industries, including the automotive industry, we have a keen understanding of just how important consistent quality is to our customers.  That’s why we’ve put a highly effective Quality Program in place throughout all our plants that includes regular quality audits.

Leverage Our Buying Power to Gain Tremendous Savings

Forget about paying premium prices for smaller product runs with multiple suppliers. As the largest buyer of industrial grade lumber in the United States, our volume pricing gives you tremendous savings and increased profits.

Never Worry About Getting Your Supplies On Time Again

Getting the wood supplies you need on time, every time, is crucial to keeping your production lines moving.  While most industrial wood suppliers have such a poor track record for on-time delivery rate that they don’t even bother tracking it, we’ve reached over 97% OTD this year – and it’s even higher for our preferred customers.

Export Compliance Made Simple and Dependable

We continue to be at the forefront of the heat treatment and export compliance requirements for shipping outside of the United States.  That means that each of our plants have the capability of providing the necessary stamps and documentation to get your products safely past inspection.

Recent Project:  Industrial Appliance Pallet

HVAC and industrial appliances are usually big, heavy, bulky, and oddly shaped, and that makes getting your product where it needs to go challenging.  The standard 48 x 40 pallet just won’t cut it, and that’s why it’s so important to work with experienced packaging designers.

In the image to the left, you can see a custom pallet we designed and produced for one of our customers.  Although the picture isn’t great, you can probably tell that we’ve used southern yellow pine (SYP), rather than hardwood for this heavy industrial appliance.

Using SYP keeps costs down, but the design still keeps it strong.

Recent Project:  Mounted Coolers

Here’s another example of a situation when a custom pallet or skid is necessary.  Although it may be difficult to get an idea of the scale of these coolers from the picture, they are very large and very heavy.  There’s another picture of this product above.

In this case, we designed a custom 8′ x 10′ hardwood skid so that each of these coolers could be mounted to it for transport.
