Company Profile |
Unit Pallets Limited was established in 1968 and operates from a ten acre site in Golborne, Warrington, and a new site at Grangemouth opened in June 2009 solely for inspecting and repairing pallets. The Company has a policy of investing in high quality machinery, drying kilns and timber stock so as to provide a professional and efficient service to its customers.
Timber pallets are a vital component in the handling, storage and distribution system. Timber in pallet manufacture is an ideal raw material because it is reusable, repairable, recyclable and very cost-effective. All softwood used in pallet manufacture is sourced from properly managed sustained sources.
Nationwide Delivery
Nationwide delivery is offered through the Company's own contracted fleet and through an established network of reputable hauliers, who provide economical and reliable delivery.
