New pallets and skids in Maryland

Buying in Maryland

Maryland makes medicines at 1.5 times the national concentration, with 9,019 pharmaceutical jobs, so clean, dry, documented pallets are a frequent request. Warehousing clusters in Harford County, north-east of Baltimore, with 3,435 jobs, and Prince George’s, outside Washington, with 2,664. Food manufacturing adds 19,600 jobs. Washington County, around Hagerstown at the junction of two interstates, adds 1,842 warehousing jobs. Pharmaceutical warehouses ask for pallets of identical size from one delivery to the next, so a standing order against a written spec suits them better than buying from whatever is in stock. Prince George’s County buildings serving the Washington area take mostly 48 x 40s for retail and food freight, often bought in full trailers on a schedule. Port of Baltimore exporters need the ISPM 15 heat-treatment mark on every pallet that leaves the country.

Pharmaceutical quality teams look at pallets the way they look at packaging: they want them dry, clean, consistent and documented. A written spec repeated on every order is what they audit against. Distribution buildings in the state want racking strength and four-way entry. Send whichever applies, or both, with the quantity, the delivery ZIP and any written wood policy your site has. Exporters near the Baltimore port should name the destination country too, because pallets that leave the US carry the ISPM 15 treatment and mark. Quality teams also like the lumber species and moisture written on the spec, so ask for both. For distribution buildings like Harford County’s, a standing order of one racking build is the simplest way to buy.

Send the size, the load per pallet, the quantity and a Maryland delivery ZIP. We write the build down as a spec, quote new pallets against it with delivery priced in, and reorders follow the same sheet.
