Yeovil’s aerospace and engineering firms get packaging built to the drawing: crates, cases and pallets made in Devon and delivered on our own fleet.
In Yeovil the packaging is often on the drawing. We build crates, plywood cases and shock pallets to the specification at our 300,000 sq ft factory in Bideford, under ISO 9001, and deliver them on our own lorries to Lufton, Houndstone and Yeovil Business Park, along with volume pallets for South Somerset’s food and farming.
Light, collapsible cases for high-value parts that travel and return.
Crates built to the drawing and the packing specification.
Vibration and impact protection for machined parts and sub-assemblies.
Heat-treated, FC0542-marked crates for components going overseas.
Volume pallets for South Somerset and North Dorset food and farming.
Reconditioned pallets, delivered and collected on our Somerset runs.
Also made at Bideford: bespoke wooden pallets, heat treated pallets, wooden shipping crates, osb crates, plywood crates, slatted timber crates, machinery export crates, server rack crates, hybrid packaging, export packaging, export packing services, contract packing, cardboard packaging and packaging and consumables. We also collect and recycle used pallets on our South West runs.
We run into Yeovil across Somerset from our Bideford factory, delivering into the town and the estates around it, Lufton, Houndstone and Yeovil Business Park.
Our own drivers, our own lorries, loaded at the factory. For aerospace and defence work, where packaging is often part of the specification rather than an afterthought, dealing directly with the people who built the case saves a lot of explaining.
Yeovil’s aerospace, defence and precision engineering firms ship high-value parts worldwide by road, sea and air. Heat-treated pallets, crates and cases carrying the FC0542 mark meet the ISPM 15 rule wherever those parts are going.
Yeovil’s export cases are built from timber bought in already heat treated and stamped FC0542 at Bideford, while pallets are treated in our own kilns. Plywood riveted cases are exempt from ISPM 15, so for some aerospace parts the lighter case is also the simpler one.

Yeovil has been an aerospace manufacturing town for generations. Aerospace packaging is exacting: components are high-value, often serial-numbered, and the packaging is frequently specified on the drawing. We build to specification and work under ISO 9001.
Machined parts and sub-assemblies need protection from vibration and impact rather than sheer strength. Shock pallets and foam-lined cases are usually the right answer.
South Somerset and North Dorset have a strong food and farming economy. Hard-wearing pallets, supplied in volume, with the empties collected.
High-value engineering going overseas needs ISPM 15 heat-treated timber and a case that survives handling it will never be told about. Our crates and cases are built from heat-treated timber and marked under FC0542.
Yes: regularly, on our own fleet from our Devon factory, covering Yeovil and across South Somerset and North Dorset.
Yes. That is normal work for us. Send the drawing or the specification and we will build to it, in-house at Bideford.
Yes. Plywood riveted cases and bespoke timber crates, with ISPM 15 heat treatment and marking where solid timber is used. Tell us the destination and we will confirm what the packaging needs to comply with.
Shock pallets and foam-lined hybrid packaging, which absorb vibration and impact rather than simply resisting them. Tell us the fragility and the transport mode and we will design to suit.
Our fleet also runs into Sherborne, Crewkerne, Chard, Ilminster, Martock, Wincanton and Shepton Mallet. If you are outside Yeovil, call 01237 423772 and we will tell you straight whether you are on a route.
