PECO Pallet Mississauga Service Depot Opens
PECO Pallet, Inc., one of North America’s largest providers of rental pallet services to the beverage, grocery, and consumer products industries, announced it has opened a new PECO service depot in Mississauga.
It’s the third depot PECO has established to serve the greater Ontario area and the 11th location in Canada. It also will serve as PECO’s corporate headquarters for Canada. PECO’s North American network overall has some 90 service locations.
According to Lisa Vegso, PECO’s Chief Commercial Officer, the new Mississauga location will help expand capacity for Ontario shippers and has a full menu of services. The site will house pallet inventory and perform as a staging area for the preparation and delivery of pallet orders to customers. It also will serve as a recovery, repair, and maintenance location for returned rental pallets.
“We are excited to continue investing and growing our resources in Canada,” Vegso said. “It is a key market for our network and demonstrates our commitment to providing local and regional businesses with responsive, high-quality rental pallets, which their supply chains rely upon.”

PECO Pallet operates North America’s second largest pallet rental network, with some 90 pallet depots managing an inventory of some 23 million of its signature red, high-quality 9-block pallets.
