Millwood, Inc.’s CORE Erosion Control Services division has added a co-packing location in Bridgeville, DE.
“We’re excited about partnering with the team at Pallet Masters to supply CORE filter socks to this area of the country,” said Chris Verbosky, CORE regional operations manager. “The opportunity to bring them on is a true testament to teamwork within Millwood.”
As a current and valued pallet supply partner for Millwood, Pallet Masters’ Bridgeville location fits the mold to act as a co-packing location for Millwood’s CORE filter socks in this region of the country, said CORE Sales Director Chris Sztenderowicz.
“Not only was their operation designed to manufacture the filter sock, Pallet Masters is already a trusted supply partner for Millwood and their core values and quality of standardization align with Millwood,” Sztenderowicz said.
The agreement reached allows both parties to work together to ensure success. Millwood supplies the equipment and filter sock mesh needed to manufacture the filter sock. Pallet Masters supplies the labor and recycled
wood chips from unusable pallets to manufacture and ship the CORE filter sock from their operation to various CORE customers in this region of the U.S.
The wood chips used in these CORE filter socks went through various testing to ensure they met all regulations. A Millwood team also traveled to Bridgeville to train the Pallet Masters team on the machinery and packing methods.
“We made sure that their particle-size distribution met the criteria of the compost filter sock,” Sztenderowicz said. “After [Pallet Masters] installed new wooden screens into their grinder, we were able to get the medium at usable levels for the filter sock.”
Customers and prospects in this region of the U.S. will now be able to take advantage of lower shipping costs with the addition of this co-packing location.
