Daily deliveries into Exeter on our own fleet: your local Exeter pallet supplier for new pallets, bespoke crates & export packaging, made in Devon.
Exeter is one of our busiest delivery areas. Our lorries come up the link road and down the M5 every weekday with new pallets, bespoke crates and export packaging built at our 300,000 sq ft factory in Bideford, so the people who quote your job are the people who make it.
Stock and bespoke sizes for Marsh Barton, Sowton and Matford, on a standing order if that suits.
Treated in our own kilns for food and drink exporters shipping up the M5.
Built round the machinery and fabrications that leave the city’s engineering firms.
Shock protection for instruments heading out of Exeter Science Park.
Boxes and protective packaging on the same delivery as your pallets.
Reconditioned pallets, delivered and collected on our Exeter runs.
Also made at Bideford: bespoke wooden pallets, wooden shipping crates, export crates, osb crates, plywood crates, slatted timber crates, machinery export crates, plywood riveted cases, server rack crates, hybrid packaging, export packaging, export packing services, contract packing and packaging and consumables. We also collect and recycle used pallets on our South West runs.
Exeter is a straight run for us: down the A377 or out on the A361 North Devon Link Road to the M5. Our own HGVs deliver into the city and the trading estates around it: Marsh Barton, Sowton, Exeter Business Park, Matford and Pinhoe.
Because we run our own fleet rather than booking a pallet network, your delivery leaves our Bideford factory and arrives with you, nothing gets tipped onto a hub floor and re-handled overnight. That matters most for bespoke crates and long or awkward loads, which is exactly the sort of thing a network won’t take.
Exeter’s food and drink producers and engineering firms ship to Europe and beyond, mostly up the M5 to a freight forwarder or a container port. Whichever way the load leaves Exeter, the pallets under it must be heat treated and marked before they reach the border.
Pallets for Exeter come out of our two 300-pallet kilns at Bideford, are stamped FC0542 and go onto the next Exeter run, so a food exporter on a standing order can have every pallet in the warehouse export-ready. Crates for the city’s engineering firms are built from timber bought in already heat treated and carry the same mark.

Exeter and the Exe valley have a dense cluster of food and drink manufacturing. Hygienic, consistent pallets matter here, new pallets to a fixed specification, ISPM 15 marked when the product is heading for export.
Machinery and fabricated assemblies rarely fit a standard pallet. We design and build the crate around the item, including skid bases for heavy plant and internal bracing for anything that must not shift.
High-volume, hard-wearing pallets that survive being handled on site, plus collection of the empties once they come back.
Exeter Science Park and the university spin-outs ship delicate, high-value equipment. Shock pallets and foam-lined cases protect instruments in transit.
Yes: daily, on our own HGV fleet, direct from our factory at Bideford. We cover the whole city and the surrounding trading estates.
It depends on the specification and the quantity. Stock sizes move fastest; bespoke crates need drawing and building. Call 01237 423772 with your sizes and we will give you a real lead time rather than a guess.
Yes. Send us a drawing, a sketch or just the dimensions and weight of what you are shipping, and we will design and build to suit. We do the design in-house at Bideford.
Yes. We heat-treat on site in our own kilns and mark to ISPM 15 under registration FC0542, so timber packaging leaving Exeter meets the ISPM 15 marking requirement wherever it applies.
Our fleet also runs into Cullompton, Tiverton, Honiton, Crediton, Exmouth, Dawlish and Newton Abbot. If you are outside Exeter, call 01237 423772 and we will tell you straight whether you are on a route.
