Our latest Ask the Expert blog is out! This edition comes from Ongweoweh's Director of Client Engagement, Rob McIntosh, and explores the pros, cons, and adoption rates of plastic and wood pallets. Rob begins with: "In the world of supply chain management, even the smallest choices can have a big impact — especially when it comes to the type of pallets you use. Selecting the right pallet isn’t just about picking wood or plastic; it’s a decision that affects your business’s operational efficiency, overhead costs, and sustainability efforts." We hope you'll continue reading here: https://lnkd.in/gQXUPF9e Want to start a conversation with Rob about YOUR pallet-management approach, procedures, processes, and procurement?

This Native American Heritage Month we honor our own Native American Heritage. And, of course, we take this opportunity to again recognize our founder, Frank Bonamie, who instilled so many important and meaningful Native American values in our company culture when he founded our company 45 years ago in 1980. A one-time chief of the Cayuga Indian Nation of New York State -- itself a member of the Haudenosaunee Confederation – Frank built Ongweoweh Corp. with a deep respect for Native traditions in mind. (One example of this is our company’s commitment to the 7th Generation philosophy – which dictates that every decision made today should benefit those who will come after us for seven generations into the future.) Today – and mirroring the profound tenets of Native American tradition marked by this month – we proudly carry forward Frank’s legacy; we celebrate the resilience, wisdom, and rich history of Native American communities across the nation; and we honor and build upon our heritage by re-committing to Ongweoweh's core values of Respect, Integrity, Innovation, Stewardship, and Accountability in ALL of our business practices, transactions, and relationships.

Pleased to share our latest blog on the ins, outs, benefits, and how-tos of pallet repair and return programs, written by Ongweoweh team-member Martin Hawkins. The first in a new blog series we're calling "Tips & Trends," Martin writes: "In the post-pandemic world, companies have had to reevaluate their supply chains, their goals, and even the way they do business. Although this can be a painful process to go through, the results may yield valuable change that leads to meaningful, long-term improvements for your organization. One of these improvements which can be realized at this time is the implementation of a repair and return pallet program. Ongweoweh has a proven track record of introducing and managing these programs for our valued customers, more and more of who are asking us about repair and return programs."

According to Ongweoweh's Executive Director of Communications & Client Relations, Bill Ruth, "hardwood isn't always stronger than softwood." To learn why, check out our latest Ask the Expert blog in the Ongweoweh Knowledge Center. HERE'S HOW BILL STARTS OUT: "When most people hear the terms “hardwood” and “softwood,” they tend to assume that hardwood is stronger and more durable than its softwood counterpart. After all, it’s in the name, right? Not quite! The distinction between hardwood and softwood is actually based on the type of tree it comes from rather than the strength of the wood itself. In fact, depending on your application — especially when it comes to pallets — softwood can be just as robust and reliable as hardwood, sometimes even more so!"
