Mary Casillo & Aubrey Galbraith talk about how Pallet Alliance's onsite audits uncover inefficiencies & identify opportunities for cost-saving & sustainability.
IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:
[04.04] An introduction to Mary and Aubrey, their backgrounds, and roles at Pallet Alliance.
[07.30] An overview of Pallet Alliance – who they are, what they do, and how they help their customers.
[10.10] From cost to sustainability, the big challenges and opportunities for Pallet Alliance customers in the current landscape.
"We see organizations trying to find opportunities for cost-saving… especially because of tariffs."
[12.37] How pallet optimization can make an impact, in light of these challenges and opportunities.
"When we're talking about optimization, we're not just talking about the pallets themselves. We're talking about taking a holistic approach to manufacturing."
[17.14] Onsite audits – what they can look like for a customer, how they can be used to create cost-effective and fit-for-purpose solutions, and align pallet programs across multiple locations.
"Onsite audits allow us to meet with a customer, understand their specific pain points, look at their specifications – and a lot of times we see these things don't match."
[21.20] The benefits of pallet and crate customization.
"Customization is very important for long-term efficiencies."
"When we talk about total cost of ownership of pallets and crates, we're not just talking about the product itself. We're talking about the entire supply chain process that the pallet or crate interacts with. It's a whole universe out there!"
[27.35] The ROI for pallet customization, the importance of figuring out your 'why,' and leveraging the science behind pallet redesign to develop the best solutions for cost, sustainability and efficiency.
"When you hear customization, you think expensive. But it's an opportunity, it's like solving a puzzle. Making savings and redesigns… so customers aren't seeing an increase in cost or inefficiencies."
"We use the wood science behind the decisions, and share the knowledge."
[36.08] How smarter pallet designs can be key to a company's sustainability initiatives.
"Redesign and sustainability go hand in hand."
[39.16] Next steps: how you can request a free onsite audit from Pallet Alliance.
[41.38] What 2026 is going to look like for Pallet Alliance.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
