Pallet sourcing across North Carolina.

North Carolina is in the middle of an industrial expansion driven by the IRA, the CHIPS Act, and the EV battery investment cycle. The Research Triangle pharma and biotech corridor (Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Wolfspeed, Toyota battery) demands KD-HT audit discipline. The legacy furniture belt around High Point and Hickory remains active and drives custom-build demand. Charlotte's financial/logistics density and the Port of Wilmington's growing share of east coast container traffic round out the demand picture. Network capacity is denser around the Triangle and Charlotte than in the western part of the state.
