The Western Pallet Association is building the future of the wood pallet and packaging industry through education, collaboration, and service.

Founded on strong western roots and expanding across North America, WPA connects pallet professionals with the knowledge, relationships, and resources that help them operate stronger businesses in a rapidly changing market. From workforce development and operational education to peer collaboration and industry advocacy, WPA exists to deliver practical value that members can apply directly to their companies.

At the center of WPA’s vision is Pallet University, a growing educational platform designed specifically for wood pallet professionals. Through industry-focused training, leadership development, and operational learning, WPA is helping prepare the next generation of owners, managers, and industry leaders.

WPA members gain access to a trusted network of professionals who openly share insights, experiences, and solutions. Whether navigating labor challenges, market volatility, regulatory pressures, succession planning, or business growth, members benefit from the collective knowledge and experience of an industry community.

WPA believes the pallet industry deserves more than representation alone. It deserves a professional home where companies grow, leaders develop, and the industry advances together.
