Industrial Wood, Custom Crates & Pallets for Aerospace & Defense Contractors

Proven Success with Aerospace Industry & Defense Contractors

For the aerospace industry and defense contractors, product protection and on-time delivery throughout the entire distribution chain is critical.  If products aren’t in the right place at the right time, costs skyrocket and defense and security may be put at risk.  In some cases, lives may even be put in danger.  Your product must get to the right place, at the right time – but you’ve also got to keep costs in check.

In the case of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), eliminating damage during transport is a major concern.  From wing hulls to engines, and avionics to dashboards (and everything in between), your product must get to its destination safely.  That means you not only need a cost-effective packaging partner you can count on, but you need a partner with the expertise to meet your needs.

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.

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.
