Definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing wood pallets, wood box shook, wood boxes, other wood containers, and wood parts for pallets and containers. The US Wood Container and Pallet Manufacturing industry purchases hardwood and softwood lumber that has been sawn at a mill and transforms this raw material into wood pallets, wood box shook, wood boxes, other wood containers, and wood parts for pallets and containers. These are sold onto a host of downstream industries (such as producers and distributors of automotive and other engineered products, as well as food and beverages products) that use the pallets and containers to store and transport these consumer and industrial goods.
