Yes. Gruber Pallets delivers pallets throughout the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro from our Lake Elmo facility. We serve manufacturers, warehouses, distributors, food and beverage companies, retailers, and other businesses that need dependable pallet supply.

What areas do you serve?
Gruber Pallets serves the greater Twin Cities area and businesses throughout Minnesota. Common service areas include Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, Woodbury, Maplewood, Roseville, Lake Elmo, and nearby communities. If you are outside the metro, contact the team with your location and order details so we can confirm the best delivery or pickup option.
Can I pick up pallets instead of scheduling delivery?
Pickup is available from our Lake Elmo facility for many standard pallet orders. Availability depends on the pallet type, quantity, and current inventory. If timing matters, contact Gruber Pallets before arriving so the team can confirm whether your order is ready and whether pickup is the best option.
Heat-Treated and Export Pallets
Do you sell heat-treated pallets for export?
Yes. Gruber Pallets offers heat-treated pallets for businesses that need ISPM-15 compliant wood packaging for international shipping. Heat-treated pallets are used when wood packaging materials must meet export requirements before crossing international borders.
What does ISPM-15 mean?
ISPM-15 is the international standard for treating wood packaging materials used in export shipping. For pallets, the heat-treatment process brings the wood core to the required temperature for the required time, and compliant pallets receive the proper heat-treatment stamp. If your shipment is leaving the United States, ask your freight forwarder, customs broker, or customer whether ISPM-15 pallets are required.
Are heat-treated pallets different from regular pallets?
The main difference is the treatment and stamp required for export compliance. A heat-treated pallet can still be built in standard or custom sizes, but the order needs to be specified correctly before shipment. If you are not sure whether you need heat-treated pallets, tell us where the shipment is going and what your customer or freight partner requires.
Trust, Experience, and Fit
Is Gruber Pallets BBB accredited?
Gruber Pallets is listed by the Better Business Bureau as BBB Accredited with an A+ rating. BBB ratings and accreditation status can change, so customers should review the current BBB Business Profile when that trust signal matters to their purchasing process.
How long has Gruber Pallets been in business?
Gruber Pallets has over 40 years of pallet industry experience serving Minnesota businesses. The company is based in Lake Elmo and focuses on reliable pallet supply, personal service, and practical help for customers who need new pallets, recycled pallets, custom pallets, heat-treated pallets, pallet recycling, and delivery support.
Why choose a local pallet supplier instead of a national distributor?
A local supplier can usually give better guidance on delivery timing, recurring supply, custom pallet needs, and urgent changes because the team knows the local market and handles the work directly. For Twin Cities businesses, Gruber Pallets combines local delivery, manufacturing knowledge, recycling options, and direct communication with a real team.
