Dear WPA members and friends,

Glenn

Glenn Meeks

Executive Vice President

Western Pallet Association

As we close the chapter on 2024 and welcome the opportunities of 2025, it is the perfect time to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and prepare for what lies ahead in the pallet industry. The Western Pallet Association continues to grow stronger, thanks to the dedication and contributions of each of our members.

In this December/January double issue of Western Pallet Magazine, we’ll revisit key milestones from 2024 and set the stage for 2025, exploring emerging trends and challenges that will shape our industry in the coming year.

We are excited to feature insightful articles from our talented writers: Kat Vasquez, Brint Walker, and Emily Clark. Their perspectives on technology, insurance risk, and advocacy provide valuable takeaways as we begin our journey into 2025.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to the WPA and our shared mission. Together, we will continue to advance our industry and strengthen the network that supports it.

Here’s to a prosperous new year for our members and the pallet industry in 2025!
