Pallet Services in Maryland
MDMaryland is a strategically located Mid-Atlantic state situated between the nation's capital and the major northeastern metropolitan areas, with an economy driven by federal government contracting, biotechnology, cybersecurity, and maritime commerce through the historic Port of Baltimore. The state's position along the I-95 corridor, the busiest freight highway on the East Coast, makes it a natural location for distribution centers serving the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area and the broader Mid-Atlantic region. The Port of Baltimore is one of the busiest on the East Coast, specializing in roll-on/roll-off cargo, containers, and bulk commodities that generate enormous pallet demand. Maryland's proximity to Washington, D.C. creates a unique market for pallets serving federal government agencies, defense contractors, and the dense concentration of research institutions that define the state's economy. Pallets Eco serves Maryland through East Coast freight lanes, providing the state's diverse commercial and government sectors with quality recycled pallets.
