NWH Pallet Team
We asked our customers what we could do to improve our performance. After listening to their responses, we developed our “pallet team,” a combination of sales and customer service. We focus on value by providing our customers with current market information and full-time sales and customer service.
Transportation
A sale may start with the order, but it’s not complete until you receive your load, in your yard, on time. That’s the mission of our in-house pallet transportation specialist, who works every day to make sure you receive products when you want them and in the most efficient manner. Three of our alder facilities are located on the Union Pacific and/or Burlington Northern rail lines and have truck-loading capabilities as well, which means we have transportation options available to suit every need.

We're serious about sustainability
PROTECTING A RENEWABLE RESOURCE WORLDWIDE
Hardwoods are more than just beautiful and resilient—they are vital to carbon storage and the health of forest ecosystems. Through sustainable forestry practices like selective harvesting, natural regeneration, and replanting, we ensure the long-term vitality of our forests. Our commitment to responsible forest management is reinforced by adherence to the Lacey Act and internationally recognized certifications, including PEFC and FSC, which uphold the highest environmental and ethical standards.
We apply these same principles to our imported hardwoods, utilizing a rigorous procedure for purchasing imported lumber to ensure they are responsibly sourced from forests managed with care and transparency. By adhering to internationally recognized certifications, we protect biodiversity, ensure traceability, and promote sustainable forestry practices globally.
Our commitment goes beyond compliance; we conduct on-site audits overseas, reinforcing our dedication to ethical sourcing and conservation through direct, in-depth evaluations. We don’t just state our values—we take action to ensure they are upheld.
