Palatec Manufacturing Inc. was founded in 1990 for the primary purpose of manufacturing wooden pallets for the middle Tennessee and Northern Alabama market. The need for a separate location to produce the wood necessary to furnish our new and growing company was realized in 1992. That need brought an opportunity to begin producing hardwood pallets along with Kiln Dried Pine. Hardwood has become our staple in the pallet industry as 90% of all our pallets are constructed form Group IV hardwoods. In 1994 Palatec Mfg. Inc. introduced customers to a reconditioned pallet to lessen the cost of their pallet needs since lumber prices were continuing to rise. In the year 2000 Palatec became an entirely family owned business and still is today. The vision of teaching young people the value of work ethics and the foresight of a future in the pallet business continues to be a driving force in our company.

Today we ship new and reconditioned pallets within a 200 mile radius and ship an average of 18,000 pallets per week or 35-40 truckloads per week.

Also, in 2000 we also began our own trucking firm to be able to ship to our customers on time without depending on outside trucking firms.
