OUR JOURNEY

Building Success, One Pallet at a Time.

Marathon Wood Products’ operation began in 1998 with a group of four guys in a garage. It was started as a pallet recycling operation and maintains that focus to this day. The operation has grown steadily as a result of hard work, persistence and continued reinvesting back into the operation.
