Gloucester and Gloucestershire: export cases, crates and pallets built in Devon and delivered by carrier.
Gloucestershire’s aerospace and engineering firms are why most of our Gloucester work is export cases and crates. We build them at our 300,000 sq ft factory in Bideford, along with new pallets for the M5 distribution sites, and send them by carrier to Quedgeley, Barnwood, Hempsted and Brockworth.
Cases built to drawing for aerospace and engineering components.
Light, collapsible cases, exempt from ISPM 15, for parts that travel and return.
Crates built from heat-treated timber and stamped FC0542.
Skid-based crates for fabrications and plant.
Pallets in quantity for the M5 distribution corridor.
Design, build, ISPM 15 marking and delivery from one supplier.
Also made at Bideford: bespoke wooden pallets, heat treated pallets, wooden shipping crates, osb crates, plywood crates, slatted timber crates, server rack crates, shock pallets, hybrid packaging, export packaging, contract packing, cardboard packaging and packaging and consumables.
Gloucester is a straightforward run up the M5 to junctions 11 and 12. We deliver into the city and the surrounding estates: Quedgeley, Barnwood, Hempsted and Gloucester Business Park at Brockworth.
Orders leave our Bideford factory on a carrier booked for the load. Tell us the access and any timed slot when you order and we will book the delivery to suit.
Gloucester’s aerospace and engineering firms, and the distribution hubs along the M5, export across Europe and further afield. Pallets for those loads must be heat treated and marked, whether they leave through Avonmouth or by air.
Pallets for Gloucester are treated in our own kilns at Bideford and stamped FC0542 before the carrier collects them. Aerospace and engineering cases are built from heat-treated timber and marked under the same registration, whether they leave through Avonmouth or by air.

Gloucestershire has a long-established aerospace and engineering cluster. Components are high-value and frequently export-bound: bespoke cases built to drawing, with ISPM 15 treatment where solid timber is used.
The M5 corridor through Gloucester carries serious distribution volume. New pallets in quantity to a consistent specification.
The Severn Vale’s food and farming businesses need hard-wearing pallets that survive repeated handling and washing down.
Fabricated assemblies rarely fit a standard pallet. We design the crate around the item, including skid bases, and lifting provision where the load needs it.
Yes: by carrier from Bideford, covering Gloucester and Gloucestershire.
Yes. Send the drawing or the packing specification and we will build to it. We build cases from heat-treated timber and mark them to ISPM 15 under registration FC0542.
A timber crate is stronger and better for heavy, rough-handled loads. A plywood riveted case is lighter, collapsible for return or storage, and exempt from ISPM 15 because plywood is a processed board. Which is right depends on weight, destination and whether the case comes back.
Yes, from a single one-off case up to ongoing pallet contracts.
Used pallets and pallet collection run on our own fleet in the South West, so we do not offer them in Gloucester. For new pallets, ask about an ongoing supply contract on 01237 423772.
We also deliver by carrier to Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury, Cirencester, Ross-on-Wye, Newent and the Forest of Dean. If you are outside Gloucester, call 01237 423772 and we will give you the lead time for your postcode.
