Greystone Logistics, Tulsa, OK, GLGI.OB, is a high growth manufacturing and leasing company that designs, manufactures, sells and leases high quality plastic pallets that provide logistical solutions needed by a wide range of industries such as the food and beverage, automotive, chemical, and pharmaceutical and consumer product industries.

The technology in its injection molding equipment, proprietary blend of recycled petrochemical resins, and patented pallet designs allow production of high quality pallets more quickly and at a lower cost than competitors.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

HUGE MARKET
Pallets are used in virtually all United States industries in which products are broadly distributed. The Material Handling Industry Association (MHIA) estimates the size of the U.S. pallet market in excess of $6 billion annually with over 600 million wood, plastic, or paper pallets purchased in the United States.

SHIFT TO PLASTIC FROM WOOD
Plastic pallet sales are growing at double-digit rates. Disposal issues and fumigation costs coupled with regulatory mandates on pest, biological, and chemical infestation with wood pallets means more emphasis on alternate solutions. As a result, the industry is rapidly transitioning to plastic pallets with wood pallet usage continuing to be abated over time. The opportunity exists for hyper-growth in leased plastic pallets.

BEVERAGE INDUSTRY OPPORTUNITY
Greystone is a major provider of pallets to the beverage industry, which currently represents 35% of the plastic pallet market. In the beer industry alone, the two largest U.S. beer breweries, totaling 80% of the US beer market, circulate 5-7 million pallets within their distribution system annually. Approximately 15-20% of these pallets are lost per year, thus requiring consistent replacement orders. The beer industry represents just 5% of the total beverage industry. Greystone has always been the sole provider of recycled plastic pallets for Miller Brewing Company and is replacing the Coors Brewing Company existing shipping platforms. Greystone is actively working to capture additional market share in other areas of the beverage sector.


BUSINESS MODEL

• Lease pallets into managed lease pool – New national beverage customer will drive growth in this $2 billion dollar market dominated by wood.
• Growth with industry – As the materials handling industry look for “green” alternatives and continue to adopt plastic pallets for automation, safety, health, cost and efficiency concerns, Greystone will benefit from this trend because of the infrastructure and capacity now available.
• Leverage Miller Brewing and Coors Brewing Company success with direct sales on other industry giants moving from wood to plastic and expand distributor network – The Company is aggressively expanding their base of sales outlets through their exclusive national distributor, Decade Products.
• Roll out product recently completed product line – The Company currently has seven different pallets. The company’s business plan for future growth is dominated by a lease/rental pallet and standard export, beer keg and specialty pallets. The current broad product line was recently completed and meets the needs of a broad spectrum of pallet users.
