NELMA Certified Heat-Treating Service

Gerrity Industries is a certified provider of heat-treated pallets and crates, fully compliant with ISPM 15 - the international phytosanitary standard required for exporting wood packaging across borders. Using our on-site heat-treatment kiln, we bring every pallet and crate to a core temperature of 140°F for thirty minutes to ensure complete pest elimination and global shipping readiness. Whether you require standard or custom-built packaging, large or small production runs, we deliver cost-effective, export-approved solutions designed to meet today’s highest industrial shipping requirements. As a NELMA-certified manufacturer authorized to stamp materials for overseas destinations - including China and the EU - we provide dependable, fully compliant products that support customers operating under ISO 9001 and 9002 quality systems.

Why Heat Treatment for Wood Packaging?

Heat treatment (HT) is an internationally required process that brings solid-wood packaging materials - such as pallets, skids, boxes, and crates - to the regulated core temperature necessary to eliminate pests and pathogens. Gerrity Industries uses precise kiln-drying methods to heat every component to 140°F (56°C) for thirty minutes, meeting the requirements of ISPM 15. This ensures your export shipments are accepted worldwide and reduces the risk of quarantines, delays, or rejected loads at customs.

ISPM 15 Compliance for International Shipping

ISPM 15 is the global standard for treating wood packaging materials used in international trade. Compliance is mandatory for exports entering most countries, including China, the European Union, Australia, and Mexico. Gerrity Industries follows all ISPM 15 regulations and applies the required HT stamp on every pallet and crate we produce. This mark confirms proper heat treatment and guarantees acceptance at international ports, protecting your supply chain and ensuring seamless, trouble-free cross-border shipping.
