ATLANTA, May 4, 2020 – Pallet Consultants Nationwide announced today that its facility in Atlanta, Georgia has increased pallet production, expanded its team and is well-positioned to help manufacturers, distributors and supply chains reopen or expand throughput. Throughout the Coronavirus-imposed lockdowns, the Pallet Consultants facility in Atlanta has remained open and active. This time has been used to support essential supply chains, produce spare inventory and prepare for when Georgia resumes business.
Atlanta Operations Manager Casey Hardegree is excited to have the capabilities and inventory necessary to support the refreshed need for quality pallets throughout Atlanta’s distribution and manufacturing supply chains. “We’ve built up inventory to allow for more responsive servicing. We’re increasing hiring and doing more stringent training to raise the caliber of our teams even more,” said Hardegree. He added that all team members took the nature of their essential role to heart, and along with the increased inventory and private company fleet, the location is in a great position for resumed economic activity.
All locations in the Pallet Consultants network remained open and productive during state lockdowns since pallet companies were designated as critical infrastructure by Homeland Security, said company president Brian Groene. “We have been operating as usual, with the extra precautions, and have remained fully productive. During this time we have built extra inventory to be able to service the companies that were closed or running at limited capacity due to the lockdown. We look forward to helping our customers and clients when they are back at full capacity, helping bring our economy back to where it needs to be,” he said.
Groene also said that assisting customers through these transitions has been a priority across locations, and that frequent communication has kept facilities and their clients on the same page. “It is imperative that we give excellent service to our customers in need. We have kept our work force in full to make sure that all customers are taken care of in a timely, efficient and consistent manner – from our friendly and helpful clerical staff, to our production teams and drivers transporting the product. All overseen by our outstanding management team,” Groene said. “Customer service has been important, and our communication reinforces that we’re there for them and can rapidly respond to their needs and situation however it evolves,” said Hardegree.
