Our Story
Nashville Pallets was founded in 1998 with a simple mission: to provide quality pallet solutions while reducing waste and supporting local businesses. What began as a small recycling operation has grown into Middle Tennessee's premier full-service pallet company.
Our founder recognized an opportunity to help Nashville businesses save money on shipping supplies while diverting thousands of wooden pallets from landfills. Starting with just three employees and a 5,000 square foot warehouse, we began collecting, repairing, and reselling pallets that would otherwise be discarded.
Word spread quickly about our quality products and fair prices. Local manufacturers, warehouses, and retailers began relying on us for their pallet needs. As demand grew, we expanded our services to include new pallet sales, custom manufacturing, heat treatment for export, and comprehensive transportation services.
Today, we operate from a 50,000 square foot facility in La Vergne, processing over 50,000 pallets monthly and serving more than 500 businesses across Middle Tennessee. Despite our growth, we remain a family-owned business committed to the same values that started it all: quality, sustainability, and customer service.
