Built on Experience.

Palkor (Pty) Ltd was established in 1995, initially focused on supplying new and refurbished pallets to the cement industry. What started as a specialized operation has grown into one of South Africa’s largest pallet manufacturing companies.

Today, Palkor stands out as one of the few pallet suppliers with a truly national footprint — servicing businesses across all regions and industries in Southern Africa. This reach is supported by an extensive infrastructure, allowing us to meet your pallet requirements, no matter where you’re based.

Our approach goes beyond just supplying pallets. We aim to deliver a full, cost-effective pallet solution tailored to your operations. This typically includes on-site sorting, repairs, and collection — all structured around your company’s specific needs.

In addition to pallets, Palkor also serves the structural and industrial timber markets through our sawmill operation in Lydenburg. These timber products are available across all our branches.

Our infrastructure has been built to support reliability, scale, and service — ensuring we remain a trusted partner for businesses that depend on efficient, compliant, and consistent timber packaging solutions.
