About Us

Meet the Transport Packaging Experts with 100+ years of experience!

Launched in 1911 as a Pennsylvania lumber supplier, we established Baltimore headquarters in 1918 with an idea to build wooden boxes for the tin industry.

The path that led founder John M. Nelson, Jr. to a career in lumber and his expansion into materials handling runs parallel to many US history milestones.

We're the kind of company that people tend to stick with. Real people delivering real solutions is how we earned and maintain our place as an industry leader.

We'll eliminate doubts of developing, maintaining and managing your own packaging distribution. We save more time and money than most businesses can achieve in-house.
