Profile
As an owner-managed and steadily growing medium-sized family business, we now stand for reliability and quality in the pallet industry in our third generation.
Thanks to our steadily growing expertise and the expansion of our portfolio, we offer you a comprehensive range of products and services. Our focus is on the manufacture and trade of wooden pallets and load carriers of all specifications.
We have extensive experience in the international import and export of wood and pallets, enabling us to operate throughout Europe and beyond our national borders. We have carefully built and strengthened our network of our own locations, suppliers, and subcontractors over decades.
With this reliable supply chain, we are able to react quickly and according to demand. From simple disposable pallets to standardized pallets (e.g., Euro pallets and chemical pallets) or custom-made and individually manufactured special products and load carriers, we offer you all the options to transport your product safely and efficiently.
With modern facilities and computer-aided processes, we guarantee efficient handling of your orders.
Our range of services extends from consulting and development of pallets and load carriers to production, storage, order picking and delivery throughout Europe, as well as the purchase and sale of used pallets.
Benefit from our expertise in import and export, as well as our large storage capacities. Sustainability and environmental protection are central to our corporate policy. We operate sufficient photovoltaic and wind power plants to cover the entire energy needs of both our locations.
Benefit from our experience and future-oriented approach.
Together we will find the optimal solution for your individual requirements. As a supplier of cut-to-size wood and wood-based materials, we are also an extremely flexible partner. We can quickly provide you with cut-to-size boards, squared timber, OSB, and plywood panels.
For over 60 years, and now in our third generation, we have been experts in pallets, crates, and load carriers of all kinds. Experience our efficiency and expertise for yourself.
Large storage capacities and short delivery times. A special feature of our company is the generous storage area.
Thanks to this, we have a wide range of stocked products, can keep large quantities of raw materials on hand, and are thus able to deliver on time and safely even in the event of market shortages.
We stock over 150.000 pallets in approximately 250 different designs in our warehouses. These include standard pallets such as Euro pallets and chemical pallets, as well as disposable pallets in common standard sizes, and a large number of custom-made pallets that can be delivered within a very short time.
Experts in import & export. Thanks to decades of experience in the import & export of wood, pallets and other load carriers, we currently have a perfectly functioning and international network of selected partners & suppliers.
We owe this to the visionary approach of our senior manager, Isidor Feigl, who was already importing wood and pallets from Czechoslovakia long before the fall of the Iron Curtain. In the 70s and 80s, this allowed us to gain a competitive edge that we could then leverage into added value for our customers.
Exports to other EU countries and third countries such as Switzerland are also part of our daily business.
Experts in pallet manufacturing and wood processing. Our expertise in pallet manufacturing and wood processing, built up since the 1960s, enables us to provide you with targeted and professional advice.
This experience allows us to draw on a wealth of knowledge and design tailor-made solutions for your requirements.
We keep your requirements regarding load-bearing capacity, geometry, handling & cost-effectiveness, as well as the desired life cycle and feasibility in mind, and can thus develop precisely tailored concepts for your needs.
When there are specific requirements, tailored solutions are often needed. We optimize your existing portfolio of load carriers or develop a completely new solution with you.
Sustainability & responsibility. We have been taking our responsibility towards our fellow human beings and our environment seriously for many years.
The topic of energy and electricity has occupied us since the 1940s, when the Jakobsmühle ensured the electricity supply to the town of Eschlkam using hydropower, among other things.
Our approach is to manage the energy we use efficiently and cover as much of it as possible with locally generated renewable energy. Several hydropower, wind power, and solar plants at several locations now produce renewable electricity, which is used for our own needs and also fed into the public grid.
We generate the process heat required for our drying chambers and the heat treatment of export pallets entirely without fossil fuels from the waste wood and wood chips generated during production in our own wood chip heating systems.
Wood – renewable raw material. For us, specializing in wood as a material makes the decisive difference.
We are focusing on this business area to fully leverage our strengths and expertise. Our roots in wood processing give us a special connection to this high-performance natural product.
For us, the use of wood as a renewable raw material is a modern and sustainable approach.
Wooden pallets and load carriers offer a very good price-performance ratio compared to load carriers made of steel or plastic.
For example, plastic pallets are often many times more expensive than wooden pallets, even with comparable stability and load-bearing capacity. Their use also generates microplastics, whereas the abrasion and splintering of wooden pallets are biodegradable and therefore pose little risk.
Furthermore, wood is a renewable raw material that binds CO2 during its growth. Wooden pallets are thus essentially mobile carbon sinks. In the spirit of cascade use, old pallets are largely recycled and processed into pressboard blocks or particleboard, thus receiving a second life. The bound CO2 is only released when used thermally as an energy source or when they decompose.
Modern production facilities and processes. Efficiency, automation, smart processes, and state-of-the-art machinery are key to future-oriented and competitive production and business strategy. We at Feigl Paletten recognized this early on and continuously maintain our two locations in Eschlkam and Zerbst at a high technological level. We constantly invest in modernizing and expanding our production capabilities.
Europe-wide delivery capability. Unlike many competitors, we deliver nationwide and throughout Europe.
Through our two own locations in Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt, as well as our extensive partner network, we cover a very wide catchment area. We regularly supply customers throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Benelux countries, and France, as well as the Czech Republic and Poland. We have even delivered to countries as far away as Norway, Serbia, Turkey, and Egypt.
Reliability and fairness. We have a large, carefully selected network of suppliers for wood, wood-based materials, other raw materials, and merchandise. Should a supplier fail, we always have at least one or more alternative suppliers. This ensures we are very broadly and reliably positioned.
Even when shortages in the wood and pallet market have occurred in the past, we have been able to meet our customers' needs and even take over quotas that our competitors could not cover.
Even in challenging times, we remain a reliable partner for our customers, suppliers, employees, and other stakeholders. Fair cooperation and partnership based on mutual respect are always very important to us.
Challenges & Solutions. The last few years have shown that a dynamic market environment requires rapid adjustments.
Rising timber prices, increasing bureaucracy and growing competitive pressure present challenges that we face with innovative strength and entrepreneurial vision.
Our central approaches are increasing efficiency, continuously optimizing processes and sustainability in all business areas.
Furthermore, through a well-thought-out generational change within the company, we ensure that traditional craftsmanship and modern technologies seamlessly integrate, existing know-how is expanded and preserved, and in this way our business remains viable for the future.
Looking to the future: Strategic expansion. We are making targeted investments in the future of our company to remain competitive in the long term.
- We are constantly expanding our production capacities to ensure flexible and needs-based customer supply.
- We use automation and robotics in a targeted way to make processes more efficient, ergonomic and resource-saving.

Our corporate philosophy is characterized by a passion for innovation, commitment, reliability and a cooperative partnership with our customers, suppliers, business partners and employees.
With courage, entrepreneurial spirit and a clear plan for the future, we want to set standards in the industry.
