GRAND RAPIDS, MI, February 3, 2023 – Kamps, Inc. (“Kamps”), one of the nation’s leading pallet companies, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Pal-King, Inc. (“Pal-King” or the “Company”) out of Jacksonville, Florida. Pal-King specializes in full-scale pallet recycling services, including pallet repair and remanufactured pallet solutions. Pal-King serves customers across Northern Florida from two strategically located facilities in Jacksonville and White Springs. The acquisition expands Kamps’ footprint and capacity in Northern Florida, and builds upon Kamps’ core mission of providing customer-centric pallet solutions on a national scale.
Pal-King was established in 1977 by Bob and Shirley Quasnick in Jacksonville, Florida. Now under second generation Quasnick family leadership, Pal-King Pallet has grown to become a pallet recycler recognized for the service and value it drives to its customers. Pal-King has 26 employees and over 90 trailers across two locations. To better service Jacksonville customers from a single location, Kamps will be rolling operations from the Pal-King Jacksonville location into the recently acquired Pallet Express facility within the next 90 days. The Pal-King White Springs facility will continue operations with no foreseeable changes. All employees will be staying onboard.
We are excited to welcome Pal-King to the Kamps family. This addition not only expands Kamps’ physical footprint in Northern Florida, but also bolsters our pallet recycling capabilities. The Quasnick family has worked diligently to nurture a culture that puts customer service first. We look forward to strengthening that culture together and providing the best customer experience in the region.
Kamps, Inc. President, Mitchell Kamps
We are excited to merge with the Kamps team. Pal-King has been a family-owned company since 1977 and our family is grateful for the opportunity that Bob and Shirley Quasnick have provided us with. We are excited to join a team that also has family-owned roots, while also being able to provide our employees and customers with expanded opportunities on a national level.
Pal-King, Inc. Co-Owner, Dan Quasnick
