With nearly 2 billion pallets in use every day to move goods worldwide, we are committed to ensuring that these products are transported quickly and securely. Our PDS software sets the international standard for pallet design, allowing packaging professionals to explore design options and receive instant, accurate engineering analyses.

We also focus on delivering tools and resources for the supply chain to assess their carbon footprint and understand the importance of wood packaging in relation to forest health.
