Cardiff is Wales's national airport, with an adjoining aerospace business park and a South Wales industrial catchment along the M4.

The airport is at Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan, next to a business park associated with aviation maintenance and engineering activity. The wider freight catchment runs east through Cardiff, Newport and Bridgend and west towards Swansea, with automotive, electronics, steel-related and food manufacturing all present.
A large share of Welsh air freight moves by road to airports in England, so exporters here specify pallets that survive a long road leg and then meet the destination's wood packaging requirements. Movements to the island of Ireland through Holyhead add a separate set of questions in North Wales.
Pallet use cases here
Aviation maintenance and engineering support
Component and tooling movements around the business park need bases matched to the item and its handling, not a standard footprint.
South Wales manufacturing export
Dense loads such as metals, components and electronics need adequate deck coverage and, for movements outside the customs territory, treated and marked timber.
Welsh food and agricultural distribution
Domestic flows run on UK 1200x1000 patterns, with graded used stock usually sufficient where pallets are not returned.
Catchment
Cardiff, Barry, Bridgend, Newport, Swansea and the M4 corridor in South Wales.
Wooden transport pallets are not aircraft unit load devices. We supply the pallets used to build, move and store freight on the ground; ULDs are aircraft equipment handled by airlines and their handling agents.
