ASPALCO


Know Us

Based in Peenya industrial area of Bangalore, we started with manufacture of wooden pallets leveraging our expertise in wood / timber treatment and seasoning.

Initially, we manufactured wooden pallets conforming to various BIS standards and later on, adopted international standards as required under ISPM 15 standards ( 15th article of the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures ) of the IPPC (International Plant Protection Convention) of the FAO.

To meet our customers requirements for alternatives to wooden pallets, we developed metal pallets, paper pallets and plywood pallets, which in turn was based on various shipment modes, load bearing capacities, destination country import regulations and GMP standards. 

Now, depending upon our customers requirement, we offer a wide range of pallets and pallet related accessories including pallet collars, stillages, dunnages, metal collapsible cages, paper pallet runners, plywood housing on pallets… the list goes on….

That’s why -  we now, with pride, call ourselves ‘the pallet plant ‘ – your single window vendor for all your pallet requirements.






  Vision
We believe in just two words – CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

We strive to achieve this by implementing unending improvements in producing quality products, user friendly features, customizing design applications, timely quotes and deliveries, wastage reduction and last but not the least – cost effective products.

  Quality
We respect our customers  in-house quality policy and put all efforts to adhere to the same.
This does not mean we do not have a quality programme of our own – Each pallet / product is subjected to a strict three tier inspection – raw material, fabricating procedures / workmanship and final finishing / asthetic appearance before dispatch. 
This way, we have been able to develop a fool proof methodology of manufacturing pallets with near zero defects / rejections.

  Environment
Conservation of forests of the earth is no doubt the need of the hour.

In short, more forests – more carbon absorption – lesser global warming.

Our dependence on plantation based timber such as Gravillea robusta ( Silver oak ), Hevea brasilensis ( Rubber wood ), Acacia species and lately  imported Pinus radiata ( Pine wood ) would go a long way in doing our bit to save the forests of the earth.

We, at ASPALCO, encourage development and usage of perpetual ( read renewable ) forests to solve the problem of felling forest timber for pallet making.
