General Info:
About Pallet Alliance, Inc Pallet Alliance, Inc was founded in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in the summer of 1995, specifically to develop custom-solutions for large, multi-site companies in The United States, Canada, and Mexico. Our expertise in assisting customers of all sizes, in diverse industries, to develop customized solutions that address their unique requirements has continued to evolve. Pallet Alliance, Inc continues to seek opportunities to solve companies' problems through long-term partnerships, by doing the right things for the right reasons, to achieve the best overall cost and productivity. Sandra created Pallet Alliance Inc with her husband Paul Messinger in the summer of 1995. Following Paul's vision, they set out to develop custom solutions for large, multi-site companies in The United States, Canada, and Mexico. With her background in bookkeeping and management, Sandra designed Pallet Alliance, Inc.'s systems, accounting functions, and job positions. In 2000, she took over the daily operation of Pallet Alliance, Inc as President. Continuing in that capacity, Sandra hopes to expand Pallet Alliance, Inc through her aggressive 10-year business plan, and growing sales effort. Sandra now draws on 38 years of management experience to foster steadfast dedication from her staff and loyalty from her national vendors and customers. Paul is a veteran of over twenty-five years in the pallet industry where, beginning in 1984, he started as a pallet salesman in the Mid-Atlantic region. Although a successful salesman, Paul began to realize that merely selling pallets was not solving his customer's problems, and led to no real customer or vendor commitment or loyalty. That insight began a process that led to the development of the first ( successful ) National Pallet Program in 1989 ; Mobil Oil, and two years later with Millennium Inorganic Chemicals. He and his wife, Sandra, created Pallet Alliance, Inc in 1995 to concentrate on the further development of the Supply-Chain Solution approach that has since yielded notable successes with companies such as Sherwin-Williams Paint Company and United States Gypsum Company, among others. Business Development Manager Tyson joined The Pallet Alliance in January of 2003. Tyson completed an internship with General Electric while completing his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering The University of Akron. Upon graduating, he accepted a job with United States Gypsum Company and relocated to Shoals, Indiana, where he held jobs related to the manufacturing of drywall as well as managing departments responsible for Quality Control and Transportation. A promotion then took him to Torrance, California as the Operations Manager of a joint treatment manufacturing facility. This position gave Tyson diverse responsibilities which included Procurement of Materials, Manufacturing, Quality Control, and Shipping. It also provided him with a great advantage in understanding the working environments and business constraints of our customers, who are, by and large, manufacturers. Since joining Pallet Alliance, Inc, Tyson has earned his MBA from Keenan-Flagler Business School of University of North Carolina. A 2003 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Mike Jones began his work at The Pallet Alliance as head of the IT Department in late 2005. He was brought in specifically to further develop the company information-systems infrastructure, as well as to re-imagine the information-services a pallet/logistics company is capable of offering. As International Commerce & Logistics Manager, he has continued his work in developing and managing information systems, but has broadened the scope of systems integration and implementation to include all phases of company-wide processes. He continues to help The Pallet Alliance extend the base of its information technology offerings to its customers and improve its superior overall all value position in the industry.
