48forty Solutions has acquired South Carolina-based pallet management company Taylor Pallets & Recycling. The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. 48forty is a portfolio company of Audax Private Equity and Summit Partners.
Taylor was founded in 1992 by Greg and Russ Taylor and has grown steadily since that time. The company specializes in recycled, new, and custom-built pallets for customers in South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina. It services those customers through its four locations in Anderson, SC, Winder, GA, Orangeburg, SC, and Byron, GA.
Taylor is the largest pallet recycler in South Carolina, employing more than 180 people and operating its own private fleet.
"The expansion of 48forty to provide a greater number of pallet management solutions in the Southeast is made possible by the great organization that Taylor has assembled. We are thrilled to welcome them to our team,” said Mike Hachtman, CEO of 48forty.
48forty Solutions is one of the largest pallet management services companies in North America.
