Pallets in Akron, OH. Delivered by the truckload.

Polymer Valley compounders

Rubber compounders, plastics molders and polymer research labs fill the region, which counted more than 400 polymer-materials companies in 2001. Baled rubber, bagged additives and molded parts are heavy and awkward, so these plants order block pallets, heavy-duty stringers or custom sizes, plus HT wood for export loads.

Cuyahoga Falls hand-soap plant

The hand-soap and sanitizer maker founded in Akron, sold to a national consumer-goods company in 2026, makes and ships product from its main campus in Cuyahoga Falls. Liquid soap and dispenser refills are heavy, tall cases bound for hospitals, factories and stores, so outbound loads need square, consistent 48x40s.

Orrville fruit spreads and dairy

Orrville, about 20 miles southwest of Akron, hosts a fruit-spread plant its owner calls the largest in the world, plus a dairy company. Glass jars and bottled milk are heavy and breakable, so food shippers there ask for Grade A or better 48x40s with tight decks that keep layers level.

Rolling Acres fulfillment center

An e-commerce fulfillment center opened on November 1, 2020, on the land where Rolling Acres Mall once stood. Buildings like it, and the warehouses around them, go through recycled 48x40s quickly and want one grade per trailer so inbound freight racks and conveys cleanly without hand sorting at the door.
