A Rich History

History of Spartan
Spartan Pallet Industries began in 1979, when founder and CEO Bob Hill began
brokering wood pallets, corrugated materials and any related packaging products. Through Mr. Hill’s hard work and dedication in the brokering business, he expanded
into manufacturing and was able to purchase his own 40,000 square foot pallet
facility in Middletown, OH just nine years later.

As companies became more environmentally friendly and searched for more
inexpensive and yet durable ways to ship their products, Mr. Hill decided to steer
away from producing and distributing new pallets to focus his company on producing recycled wood pallets, which in turn proved to be an affordable alternative to using new wood. The next 20 years of Mr. Hill’s life were dedicated to perfecting this process and servicing companies through out the tri-state area.

In 2004, with Spartan Pallet Industries continually growing, Mr.Tim Carpenter, Bob
Hill’s grandson, took over the company's operations in an effort to continue the great
tradition that his grandfather had left for him.

Today, Spartan Pallet Industries takes pride in servicing companies all over the
tri-state area, as well as continuously trying to simplify the wood recycling process.
Mr. Carpenter plans on continuing Spartan’s constant growth by developing online ordering and tracking tools and expanding the existing Lebanon facility.
