Heat Treatment

What is the ISPM – 15 Certificate, and what does it mean?

To ensure our customers receive only the highest quality timber products and pallets, we apply a rigorous heat treatment process as an effective form of pest control. All pallets are treated at 56°C for a minimum of 30 minutes, a proven method to eliminate a broad range of pests and wood-borne insects.

This process not only preserves the integrity and longevity of our products but also complies fully with ISPM-15 international standards, making our pallets suitable for both local and global shipping.

Our commitment to quality means you can rely on us for safe, compliant, and durable pallet solutions.
