SILSBEE, Texas—Wooden Pallets Ltd celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2023. Led by Robert Worthey, its second-generation owner and CEO, the company continues to expand and prosper, following the vision of Robert’s father, Ed Tom Worthey. Its focus is on consistent quality and efficient operations, aided in large measure by its collaboration with Viking and other crucial suppliers. …Wooden Pallets purchases a range of hardwood cants, KD pine and green pine lumber that it processes to meet its material needs, in addition to buying cut stock. As is the case with many pallet companies, the percentage of hardwood consumption is declining. While it was around 75% back in 1983, today, hardwood accounts for roughly 35-40% of material usage. The green pine component remains fairly stable, but KD pine has grown significantly. …As the current CEO, Robert is mindful of carrying on his father’s vision of company growth.
