Long Established Pallet Manufacturer and Salt Distributor

| EBITDA: | $446,000 |
| Gross Revenue: | $3,400,000 |
Located in Georgia, the Company began operations in 1978 servicing the agricultural industry with salt and minerals. In 1988, the owners extended their business to serve the golf cart industry with pallets. It may seem unconventional running these two businesses together; however, the synergism and compatibility of both the salt and pallet businesses support each other, as well as their customers, with distinct business elements and resources.
The all-inclusive, broad line of salt products the Company distributes and sells are used in the production of food, chemical processing, deicing, agricultural feed, and industrial and residential water softening markets. Surprisingly, meeting customer applications with the proper salt can be a technical issue, and the Company has the specialized experience to match the correct salt with the application requirements of its customers. And on the pallet and wood packaging side of the business, the Company manufactures new pallets, repairs pallets, produces specialty pallets, and distributes pallets and wood packaging to meet unit-load solutions to the industries it serves. In 2022 their 44% of their revenue was attributed to Pallets and 56% of revenue to salts.
