Greenville at a glance
What Greenville makes and moves.
The Upstate traded its textile mills for engineering plants. Greenville was once called the Textile Capital of the World; today it holds a tire maker's North American headquarters, and a vehicle assembly plant between Greenville and Spartanburg has run since 1994. The Upstate SC Alliance reports that South Carolina led all states in passenger-vehicle exports by value in 2025 and in tire exports for an 11th straight year. Fighter jets are built at SCTAC on Greenville's south side, and Upstate food plants turn out frozen entrees, mayonnaise and coffee pods.
Pallet demand follows the engineering. Parts suppliers ship on block pallets or custom sizes matched to returnable racks and the customer's print. Plastics and materials plants move bulky, light goods that cycle standard stringers. Food plants need sound 48x40s that hold square in freezers. And because export containers are packed right here and railed to the coast from Greer, heat treatment matters at Upstate docks as much as it does near the harbor.
Who buys pallets here
The docks that run on pallets in Greenville.
- 01
Upstate tier-one suppliers
Tier suppliers around Greer, Duncan, Fountain Inn and Anderson build parts and assemblies for the Greer assembly plant and others across the Southeast. Line-side deliveries run on tight schedules and returnable packaging. Most buyers here order block pallets or custom sizes built to a print, plus HT stock for parts sold abroad.

Upstate frozen-food and condiment plants
Upstate food plants include a Cherokee County operation where about 1,000 people make frozen entrees, a mayonnaise plant in Mauldin and a coffee-pod operation in Spartanburg County. Frozen and chilled cases need pallets that stay flat in blast freezers and cold storage, so these docks favor Grade A, AAA or new 48x40s.
Food & beverage → - 03
Plastics and engineered materials
The Upstate SC Alliance counts 166 plastics businesses employing more than 9,700 people, plus carbon-fiber and advanced-textile plants. Packaging film, molded goods and fiber spools are light for their size. Most ship on recycled 48x40 stringers, though wide film rolls and spools sometimes need custom sizes or extra deck boards.

Inland Port Greer warehouses
Inland Port Greer, at exit 58 off I-85, gets import boxes discharged in Charleston onto an overnight train and has them ready by the next morning six days a week. A 2025 expansion added half again as much cargo capacity. Warehouses around Greer and Wellford devan those containers onto recycled 48x40s.

How freight moves
Ports, rail and interstates.
I-85 runs through the Upstate between Atlanta and Charlotte. I-385 links downtown Greenville to I-85 and continues southeast past Mauldin and Simpsonville toward I-26, and I-185 forms a southern connector. I-26 crosses I-85 at Spartanburg on its way to Columbia and Charleston. Inland Port Greer, a 91-acre rail terminal, gets daily and overnight train service to the Port of Charleston. GSP International Airport is also in Greer. On the south side, SCTAC, the former Donaldson Air Force Base, hosts aerospace plants beside its runway.

Which pallet to order
The right grade for Greenville.
Parts suppliers should start with block pallets or custom sizes built to the customer's packaging print, usually new lumber. Food plants making frozen or chilled products do best with AAA or new 48x40s that stay flat in freezers. Plastics and materials plants can run recycled Grade A or Grade B stringers. Any container loaded in the Upstate for an overseas customer, including boxes railed out of Greer, needs HT pallets stamped under ISPM 15. Your account manager confirms the build and grade in writing before the order ships.
