Green Pallet has been in business since 1967.  The company was started by Mr. David Green and his wife Phyllis.  They used $365 in coins and David's last paycheck to launch the business.  They bought a $125 table saw to get started.  Green Pallet continued to grow and does so today.  Supporting over forty families with it's payroll, Green appreciates the value of hard work and a quality product.

 

Green Pallet is situated on fifteen acres in Westminster, Maryland.  Pallets are manufactured in a 44,000 square -foot building, formerly used by a company that manufactured roof trusses.  The new building has enabled Green Pallet to be more productive and efficient.

 

With almost five times more area under roof than in their former location, Green had the space to add a second automated pallet assembly system from GBN Machine and Engineering Corp., and a second Pendu Manufacturing cut-up line.  

 

Green Pallet makes all disposable pallets.  Stringers are cut from oak and poplar.  The company buys cants and random length 4/4 lumber, most of it coming from sawmills in Virginia.  All pallets assembled at Green Pallet are machine nailed on GBN equipment.  The GBN Excalibur, the supplier's top-of-the-line nailing machine, can assemble a pallet in about eight seconds!

 

Green Pallet makes its own deliveries and relies on three International tractors to pull its trailers. 

 

Green Pallet serves customers mainly in the building supply industry within a 100-mile radius of its Westminster Plant.  With a population of about 14,000 Westminster is located about thirty miles northwest of Baltimore.
