FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PALNET Ushers in New Era of Professionalism
in the Pallet Business

Vineland, New Jersey -- Michael Smith, President and COO of PALNET, a leading nationwide supplier of shipping pallets, announced a redefinition of the pallet business today.

According to Smith, “We've taken a hard look at the way the pallet business does business and made sweeping and necessary changes to improve every aspect of it.” Pallets have moved the world since their wide-spread introduction during and after World War II but according to Smith, "The pallet business hasn't moved very much since then and it's time that it did."

Smith reports that PALNET has revolutionized the pallet business from the ground up making it as professional, as accountable, and as reliable as the Fortune 100 clients they do business with. "We've taken what was once a loosely organized ‘Mom and Pop’ business without many standards and created a business with national scope and capacity."

Smith cites "Accu-count" as an example.  Accu-Count is a PALNET exclusive that guarantees an accurate pallet count every time. "Its pallet counting with accountability," Smith says.  “No longer do customers have to count on the accuracy or attention span of the guy on the loading dock to do their counting. Our system guarantees an accurate count every time."

Another exclusive service of PALNET is "Accu-Track" -- an asset tracking system that lets you know precisely where all your pallets are at any given time. “It’s the GPS of the pallet industry,” he adds. 

Another important area of accountability is PALNET’s strict employment practices.  Strict employment practices are not the standard practice across the industry.  Recent government raids uncovered illegal and undocumented employees at other pallet companies. To ensure the legality of their employees, PALNET uses e-verify and other government systems. Smith put it bluntly, “In these times of heightened security, its vital to know who your employees are, where they live and the status of their eligibility to work.”

As the business world gets greener and more environmentally conscious, Smith points out that PALNET pallets are often the greenest link in a company’s supply chain.  PALNET pallets begin as the trimmings from the lumber milling process, then get reclaimed, reused and repaired and finally end up as garden mulch.  "You can't get much greener than that." Smith says.

Because of companies like PALNET and pallet professionals like Smith, a new day has dawned in the pallet business. The success of PALNET is proving that those who can constantly innovate, know their customers’ needs, and improve their business practices and professionalism find a wider and wider audience for their services.
