About Us

Barco Materials Handling manufactures high quality wooden pallets, skids and crates. Founded in 1979 by Edward Baranski as a green sawmill in Fergus, ON. Today, the company is still operating with the same family values, consisting of 65 employees and more than 40 years of experience in the pallet and lumber industries. We have expanded into a new facility in Cambridge, Ontario, where we take a hands-on approach to our business, always keeping customer satisfaction in mind to maintain long-term relationships. In 2025, Barco Materials Handling announced the acquisition of Willow Brae Pallets, a move that significantly enhances our capabilities and expands our product offerings in the materials handling sector. This strategic acquisition brings together two industry leaders with a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. We are certified to meet your export requirements and take pride in designing solutions to meet your unique needs. With continuous reinvestments into our business, Barco Materials Handling is a solid, intelligent choice as your pallet provider.
