Our Story

Our story is deeply rooted in family values and hard work. In 1992, my father moved from Norway to Montana with a dream and a commitment to build something meaningful. He founded his pallet company, where excellence and high standards were the cornerstones of everything he did. For over 30 years, my father has proved to be one of the best in pallet solutions in Montana, earning a reputation for reliability, craftsmanship, and outstanding service.

I grew up around the business, learning the trade firsthand. From 2016 until I graduated high school, I worked for my father, soaking in every aspect of what makes a quality product and service. In 2018, I enlisted in the Marine Corps, where I continued to develop structure and high-quality standards. Soon after completing my enlistment, I returned to the family business for four months in the summer of 2024, working alongside my father again before deciding to take the next step. Together with my wife, inspired by my father's commitment to excellence, I founded Next Gen Pallet Co., bringing the same high-quality pallet services that I grew up around to businesses in the Southern California region. With a foundation built on integrity, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, we are committed to providing top-tier pallet solutions—just like my father has done for decades.
