The Full Story
The Story of the Engineered Block
Every pallet starts with a block — the small but crucial foundation that carries the weight of global trade. For decades, America’s pallet industry depended on imported blocks from Europe and South America. They were expensive, inconsistent, and slow to arrive — a fragile link in the backbone of modern logistics. ArbaBlox was built to change that. Our engineered pallet blocks are made in the U.S. using recycled wood fiber and PMDI resin, the same high-performance adhesive used in advanced engineered wood products. Instead of cutting down fresh timber, we source residual sawmill materials like sawdust and wood chips, transforming waste into strength. Each block is precision-pressed under heat and pressure using IMAL-PAL technology — Europe’s benchmark system for composite block production. The result is a formaldehyde-free, moisture-resistant, dimensionally perfect block that’s up to 35% stronger than conventional imports. They don’t crack, they don’t warp, and they work seamlessly with automated pallet lines. By manufacturing locally, ArbaBlox reduces freight costs, eliminates long lead times, and gives U.S. industries a reliable, sustainable supply chain. What began as a mission to fix a broken link has become a new industrial standard — the American-made Engineered Block: stronger, greener, and built for the future of logistics.
Mission
At ArbaBlox, our mission is to rebuild the foundation of American logistics through innovation, sustainability, and strength. We are committed to producing engineered pallet blocks that eliminate reliance on costly imports, reduce environmental waste, and ensure a stable, high-quality domestic supply for the pallet and packaging industries.
By transforming residual wood fiber into precision-engineered products using world-class IMAL-PAL technology, we’re creating a circular-economy solution that supports local manufacturing, strengthens regional economies, and lowers the carbon footprint of global trade.
ArbaBlox exists to deliver more than just materials — we deliver reliability, sustainability, and a stronger future for the industries that move the world.
Vision
To become the leading North American manufacturer of engineered pallet blocks and a driving force in modern logistics innovation. We envision a future where supply chains are resilient, sustainable, and locally sourced, powered by smart manufacturing and circular-economy principles.
Through continued expansion across the U.S., ArbaBlox aims to build a network of high-performance plants that not only meet growing industrial demand but also set a new global standard for quality, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Our vision is simple — to turn every block we make into a building block for a stronger, greener world.
