Springfield at a glance
What Springfield makes and moves.
Springfield anchors a 10-county Ozarks region that the regional partnership calls the state's third-largest metro. Health care, manufacturing, retail, education and tourism drive the economy, and the city holds national headquarters for an outdoor-gear retailer, an auto-parts chain and a major truckload carrier. Food plants wash and pack pasture-raised eggs, make condiments and bottle soft drinks. Manufacturers across the region work in metal fabrication, plastics, transportation equipment and medical devices, and the region's manufacturers include a remanufacturing group.
That spread keeps pallet orders varied. Egg and condiment plants ship cases to grocery distribution centers, where broken boards or loose nails can get a load turned away. Remanufacturers and suspension builders move heavy steel parts that need block pallets or reinforced runners. Warehouses in Strafford and Republic, along with the carrier and retail headquarters in the city, run large numbers of standard 48x40s, mostly recycled, with Grade A saved for retail-bound loads.
Who buys pallets here
The docks that run on pallets in Springfield.
- 01
Egg and condiment lines
A large-scale egg washing and packing plant operates in Springfield for a pasture-raised brand, and a condiment maker has a long-standing manufacturing presence in the city, according to the Ozarks Regional Economic Partnership. Cases headed to grocery DCs need 48x40s with full top decks, square corners and no protruding fasteners.
Food & beverage → - 02
Ozarks soft-drink bottlers
Soft-drink bottling and distribution facilities serve the Springfield region, and beverage loads are dense and heavy for their size. Shrink-wrapped stacks of cans and bottles ride through warehouse racks and route trucks, so these shippers lean toward strong Grade A or new 48x40s with sound lead boards and stringers.
Consumer goods → - 03
Remanufacturing and suspension plants
The partnership counts more than 26,000 manufacturing workers across the region. A remanufacturing group, an electronic-connector maker and a playground-equipment builder operate in the region, and Mount Vernon makes suspension systems. Heavy cores, connectors in bulk and steel assemblies call for block pallets, thicker boards or custom runners.
Manufacturing → - 04
Carrier and retail headquarters
More than 30,000 people across the region work in transportation, distribution and logistics, and the partnership calls Strafford and Republic premier destinations for warehousing. Retail, parts and carrier operations around the city go through standard recycled 48x40s, Grade B for internal moves and Grade A when freight leaves for stores.

How freight moves
Ports, rail and interstates.
I-44 links Springfield to St. Louis to the northeast and to Joplin and Tulsa to the southwest.

Rail mainlines converge at a yard in north Springfield, the railroad works three switch yards in the city, and more than 65 freight trains pass through daily. Springfield–Branson National Airport is the region's air gateway; overseas freight leaves by rail or truck for coastal ports.

Which pallet to order
The right grade for Springfield.
Egg, condiment and beverage plants do best with Grade A or new 48x40s that keep cases square on the way to grocery receivers. Retail and parts warehouses in Strafford and Republic can run Grade B for internal moves and step up to Grade A for outbound loads. Remanufacturers, suspension builders and metal fabricators often need block pallets or custom sizes with heavier stringers. Any crate or pallet leaving the country should be heat-treated (HT) and stamped under ISPM 15. Specs vary by receiver, so your account manager confirms the grade in writing.
