About Us
For more than three decades, L&E Pallets and Lumber has provided clients with dependable pallets, skids, and high-quality hardwood and softwood lumber. We deliver materials that protect and safely move your products on time, every time.
As a family-owned business, we take pride in our quality materials, rigorous inspection, and commitment to standing behind every order.
Founder and President Joe Frontzak established the company on a simple philosophy: treat customers fairly, deliver consistent quality, and earn long-term relationships — principles that guide how we operate today.
Our History
Family-owned since 1990, L&E Pallets and Lumber is headquartered in Des Plaines, IL, with plants across the U.S., including three sawmills in Missouri.
We specialize in custom pallets and skids, and we recondition used pallets to keep materials in use and out of landfills.
Excellence and Professionalism
L&E owns and operates its own lumber mills for industrial hardwood and southern yellow pine.
We Offer:
* Next-day shipping on used pallets
* Custom pallets & skids delivered in 3–5 days (faster if in stock)
