THE LARGEST WOODEN PALLET
MANUFACTURER IN THE UK

Since Rowlinson Packaging first started trading in 1966, wooden pallets have been a core element of our business and since then our manufacturing process has changed considerably with the introduction of a high-speed CAPE line and Pallet Design System (PDS) in the last few years bringing efficiency and quality to every wooden pallet we manufacture.

Supplying the standard 4-way entry wooden pallet in both 1200 x 1000mm and 1200 x 800mm as well as bespoke pallets made to our customer’s specific design and size we have invested in high-speed manufacturing machinery which not only allows us to offer competitive prices but when allied to our stockholding, it gives us the capacity to guarantee timely deliveries to our customers.

WHY YOU CAN’T BEAT OUR WOODEN PALLET MANUFACTURING

Over the last few years, we’ve added many different innovations to our wooden pallet manufacturing process to improve the overall quality of each pallet as well as keep them as cost-effective as possible. A large part of this is the introduction of a Pallet Design System (PDS) which will analyse any product, weight and stocking configuration that can be loaded onto a wooden pallet. This helps identify the correct specifications for the manufacturing of the pallet, which can also be used to recognise any weak points, and how to best accommodate this in the most cost-effective way.

Keeping all of our wooden pallet manufacturing in-house allows us to price our wooden pallets competitively, a large part of this is due to investments in the most technically advanced wood waste chipper and wood burner boiler. With this £400,000 investment, we are able to feed our ISPM15/kiln drying chambers enabling us to offer ISPM15 and kiln-treated wooden pallets at very competitive rates of all sizes to all our customers.

As one of the UK’s leading wooden pallet suppliers, we, fortunately, have enough space to hold stock of not only our 1200 x 1000mm and 1200 x 800mm wooden pallets but also our customer’s bespoke wooden pallets which are ready for immediate delivery upon request, meaning you don’t waste space on the storage of empty wooden pallets at your facility.

When it comes to wooden pallet disposal our expert team are able to come and collect any damaged or unused wooden pallets from you which will then be transported to our Nantwich site to be chipped and reused where possible or chipped and/or fed into our biomass boiler to fuel our heat treatment system.
