I plan to involved in pallet manufacturer...is anyone in this industry?

How is the outlook for this industry?

I'm not sure if this is the right thread...
However I have a relative in this business. He's doing pretty good, recently bought an Audi. But according to him, he's somewhat lucky coz he knows quite a lot of people. Many of his competitors are doing far worse.

very competitive bro this industry.
often run out of wood/planks during wet season past time...plenty of problems to supply customers...
need reliable and stable wood source.

yeap...guess so...need relationship in order to get biz..ur friend is doing really good...
but they might be a switch to plastic pallet too..

yea...got it bro...supply of material is important...
competitive is in terms of u doing new pallet or used pallet..
used pallet even far more competitive...

I still rarely see plastic pallet tho. I guess it'd be less competitive but also less demand.
he had no problem with wood supplies tho. I guess he's really good with his network.

I will step on to 2nd wooden pallet 1st then just to new pallet industry...
gonna to be tough in this...life's are tough...sigh...

Recently pellet manufacturing looks like a hot hot thing..

Is a small enterprise, but still stable.

I see you're going to start your own business then?
Well it'll be tough in the beginning, but if it turns out to be good, it will be worth it.
I've also recently started my own business, still in the tough period lol

Wood pallet is famous in construction industry. Since construction in Malaysia is booming, if you're with contacts, sure no problem.

Food industry won't be able to use wooden pallet, certainly not for food items. Only curi curi use for other non food product usage.

I myself use both wooden and plastics pallets.

In addition supplying to retailers you won't be able to use your own pallet as they have 3rd party pallet supplier.

I bought more than 50 wooden pallets recently and at very cut throat price rm15 per pallet n very good condition.

Hope my info helps unabit.

where is ur location bro? RM15 per pallet ? Dimension pls...
is it new pallet?

I visited his plant last year. Faiza is using those metal one. The wooden one is for Singaporean customer.

No . Its second hand but in good condition out of 20 I bought 15 rejected 5 as the bottom side wood not in good consition and forklift cant go in nicely.

Oh...yupe..some pallet still can consider as good although is 2nd hand unit...RM15 should be good price...
currently I'm doing refurbished pallet and will venture into New pallet ...but could it be the next trend for plastic pallet?

JB? mind to share me his location?

He is near batu pahat bro. Haha his contact i have to dig back. I lost my phone earlier.
