Supplier & subcontractor RFQs
Government & defense pallet and crate procurement
We supply pallets, crates, skids and blocking/bracing to the companies that fill government and defense requirements — procurement resellers, prime contractor buyers, logistics and 3PL firms, and packaging companies. Send the drawing, the spec and the quantity, and we'll quote it.
How orders are built
Our yard, plus qualified plants near the destination
We manufacture pallets, skids and crates in-house at our Denham Springs yard. For larger or nationwide requirements, we also work with qualified manufacturing partners located near the delivery destination to keep freight down and lead times realistic.
Either way, you deal with one company. We handle supplier sourcing, quote coordination, delivery and the customer relationship — and we stay responsible for the order from quote to receipt.
