Pallet Services in Idaho
IDIdaho's rapidly growing economy, anchored by agriculture, food processing, technology, and timber, creates a dynamic and expanding market for pallet services. The state's position along major east-west freight corridors connecting the Pacific Northwest to the Mountain West makes it a natural extension of Pallets Eco's service area, with efficient delivery routes via I-84 from our Portland headquarters. Idaho's agricultural sector, led by potato production, dairy, and grain farming, generates enormous seasonal demand for pallets, while the Boise metro area's booming technology and manufacturing sectors provide steady year-round consumption. The state's timber resources in the northern panhandle region support local pallet manufacturing, but growing demand frequently outpaces local supply, creating opportunities for our recycled pallet products.
