GSS offers a wide variety of packaging solutions to meet your company's shipping and packaging needs. We manufacture packaging built to your specification. We also have the capabilities of designing and engineering more efficient packaging to maximize your shipping quantities and better protect your products. GSS can also integrate your existing packaging with our recovery-reuse system to reduce cost and improve efficiency.
GSS manufactures hardwood and Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) pallets in standard sizes and those customized to your companies specifications. Skids, crates and boxes are also manufactured with notching, chamfering, corner rounding and heat treatment. Our services include remediating and re-manufacturing pallets to meet your performance qualifications.
GSS has a license and multiple U.S. patents on packaging return and reuse. Pallets, crates, and racks are retrieved from your facilities or your customer’s facilities and are unloaded, cleaned, remediated, re-manufactured and prepared for reuse at your facilities. Our team tracks and manages the entire system for you. GSS methodologies give significant competitive advantages while saving money and being environmentally friendly. Our breakthrough approach diverts millions of pounds of waste from landfills and greatly reduces need for new raw materials.
