Industrial Packaging Solutions Powering the Energy, Oil & Gas Industries

The energy and oil & gas industries face unique challenges.  Not only are they delivering around the clock, but they’re also frequently dealing with difficult environmental conditions.  Efficient handling, speed, and long distance shipping in extreme climates can be a daily issue, making the need for a reliable packaging partner crucial.

Meeting packaging requirement specs and delivering on time is key.  Interruptions and delays are not an option.

Whether it’s pipe and fittings going to Houston, solar panels being delivered to Florida, or a transformer traveling to the other side of the world, your products have to be delivered safely, efficiently and on time.

Conner is an industry leading industrial packaging provider with nearly 40 years of experience working with companies in the Energy sector.  We know how to design packaging for sensitive, highly valuable, and often big, heavy, and bulky equipment and technology.

The Conner Advantage

Consistent Quality Across Every Order Matters

After nearly 40 years of working with all types of industries, including the Energy and Oil & Gas Industries, 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.

Helping to Keep Your Company Green and Sustainable

Lumber is the ultimate sustainable and green packaging solution from start to finish.  We incorporate wood waste green programs based on customer needs, and work with customer locations to keep lumber out of landfills with customized wood sweep programs.

Recent Projects

Recent Project:  Pipe Liners

Conner works with a wide variety of companies within the Energy and Oil & Gas sectors.  One of our recent projects was to create specialty crates to transport pipe liners for one of our customers.

While they might not look all that exciting from the pictures, they’re actually pretty interesting.

The pipe liners are put into the crates on the top-right in much the same way that you see fire hoses loaded onto a firetruck.  They roll the pipe liners up.  When the pipe liners reach their destination, the “door” on the side of the crate slides up.

Once this side panel is removed, the pipe liner is pulled out of the crate in small sections, kind of like unrolling a fire hose.

Pretty ingenious, huh?

Recent Project:  Windmill Turbines

Another one of the Energy companies we worked with recently needed a way to safely transport their windmill turbine components.  Not only is this a very large item that must be packaged on site, but it’s also extremely heavy, bulky, and oddly shaped.

In order to protect the turbine, we first had to design a specialty pallet that would keep the components positioned correctly for transport.

In other words, it needed to be blocked in such a way that the shaft and the end would remain level.  We also had to make sure that the component parts wouldn’t roll or shift during shipment.

Once we designed the pallet, we then designed a custom crate that would protect our customer’s windmill turbine from the elements, dirt, and debris during transport.

Both the pallets and the crates were assembled on-site at our customer’s location.
