Kentucky has become one of America's fastest-growing logistics and manufacturing hubs, anchored by Louisville's UPS Worldport — the largest automated package handling facility on the planet, processing over 400,000 packages per hour. This massive logistics infrastructure, combined with Louisville's river port and rail connections, creates enormous demand for pallets. Cleveland Pallet is proud to serve the Bluegrass State's logistics industry with the high-volume, consistent-quality pallet supply that world-class operations demand.
Beyond logistics, Kentucky's automotive manufacturing sector is one of the most productive in the nation. Toyota's Georgetown plant is the largest Toyota manufacturing facility in the world, Ford operates two major assembly plants in Louisville, and the state hosts hundreds of automotive component suppliers. These operations consume pallets at an extraordinary rate — for parts incoming from suppliers, for work-in-progress on assembly lines, and for finished vehicles and components shipping to dealers and customers. Our automotive-spec pallets meet the stringent quality and dimensional standards that OEMs require.
Kentucky's world-famous bourbon industry adds another dimension to the state's pallet demand. The Bourbon Trail stretches from Louisville through Bardstown and Frankfort to Lexington, and the distilleries along this route use pallets for everything from grain delivery to barrel storage to finished product shipping. Bourbon barrels weigh over 500 pounds each, meaning the pallets that support them must be heavy-duty and properly constructed. We provide the robust, heat-treated pallets that the bourbon industry requires, along with food-grade options for bottling and packaging operations.
We serve Kentucky through regular delivery routes along I-71 and I-75, the two major highways connecting Cleveland to the Bluegrass State. Our I-71 route takes us through Columbus to Cincinnati and then into northern Kentucky and on to Louisville. Our I-75 route connects to Lexington and the central Kentucky manufacturing corridor. Kentucky customers enjoy two-to-three-day delivery as standard, with rush service available for time-sensitive orders.
Northern Kentucky deserves special recognition as one of our strongest Kentucky markets. The Covington-Newport-Florence corridor is functionally part of the Greater Cincinnati metro area, and we serve it as an extension of our Cincinnati delivery zone. This means northern Kentucky customers often enjoy the same delivery times and pricing as our Ohio customers just across the river. The CVG Airport cargo operations, the Amazon Air Hub, and the dense concentration of distribution centers along I-75 and I-275 all depend on reliable pallet supply that we provide.

Areas We Serve in Kentucky
Louisville, KY
Kentucky's largest city, America's logistics capital, and home to UPS Worldport. Louisville's logistics infrastructure is staggering — beyond UPS, the city hosts major operations for Amazon, Humana, GE Appliances, and Ford, along with a thriving food and bourbon manufacturing sector. We serve the entire Louisville metro with scheduled weekly deliveries, covering the massive distribution complexes along I-65, the Riverport industrial area, the Ford assembly plants on Fern Valley Road, and the growing logistics parks in Shepherdsville and Bullitt County.
Lexington, KY
The heart of the Bluegrass Region and Kentucky's second-largest city. Lexington is a major automotive manufacturing center (Toyota's Georgetown plant is just minutes north), a bourbon industry hub, and a growing technology and healthcare market. We serve the Lexington metro area and surrounding Fayette and Scott Counties, delivering automotive-spec pallets to the Toyota supplier network, food-grade pallets to the bourbon and food processing operations, and standard pallets to the commercial and healthcare sectors.
Covington, KY
Northern Kentucky's largest city, directly across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Covington and the surrounding Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties are effectively part of the Greater Cincinnati economy, and we serve them as an extension of our Cincinnati metro delivery zone. This means faster delivery and more competitive pricing than what a standalone Kentucky delivery would typically cost. We serve Covington's distribution centers, manufacturing operations, and the dense commercial corridors along I-75 and I-275.
Bowling Green, KY
South-central Kentucky's manufacturing and university hub, home to GM's Corvette Assembly Plant and Western Kentucky University. Bowling Green has attracted significant manufacturing investment beyond Corvette production, including food processing, metalworking, and automotive component suppliers. We provide scheduled delivery service to Bowling Green and Warren County, supplying automotive-spec pallets for the GM plant and its suppliers, and standard pallets for the region's diverse manufacturing base.
Owensboro, KY
Western Kentucky's manufacturing and agricultural center on the Ohio River. Owensboro is home to major manufacturing operations in aluminum (Century Aluminum), steel fabrication, and food processing, along with a thriving bourbon distillery scene. We serve Owensboro and Daviess County with scheduled deliveries, providing heavy-duty pallets for the metals industry, food-grade pallets for the distilling and food processing sectors, and recycling services for the region's manufacturing waste.
Florence, KY
The commercial heart of northern Kentucky's Boone County and a major distribution hub along the I-75/I-71 corridor. Florence has attracted enormous warehouse and distribution operations thanks to its proximity to CVG Airport, its excellent highway access, and its position at the geographic center of the eastern U.S. population. We serve Florence's distribution centers and logistics operations as part of our northern Kentucky delivery zone, providing high-volume pallet supply on weekly schedules.
Georgetown, KY
Home to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK), the largest Toyota manufacturing facility in the world and one of the most productive automotive plants on the planet. Georgetown's economy revolves around Toyota and its extensive supplier network, which stretches across central Kentucky. We provide automotive-specification pallets that meet Toyota Production System requirements, with just-in-time delivery capabilities aligned to the plant's production schedules.
Richmond, KY
A growing manufacturing and distribution center in central Kentucky along the I-75 corridor between Lexington and the Cumberland Gap. Richmond is home to Eastern Kentucky University and a diverse manufacturing base that includes automotive components, food processing, and consumer products. We serve Richmond and Madison County on our I-75 corridor routes, providing the affordable used pallets that help central Kentucky manufacturers maintain competitive production costs.
Frankfort, KY
Kentucky's state capital and a key stop on the Bourbon Trail, nestled in the Kentucky River valley between Louisville and Lexington. Frankfort is home to Buffalo Trace Distillery, the oldest continuously operating distillery in America, along with state government operations and growing manufacturing sector. We provide food-grade and heat-treated pallets for the bourbon industry, standard pallets for government logistics, and recycling services for the capital region.
Paducah, KY
Western Kentucky's river city at the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers, one of the most strategic inland waterway locations in America. Paducah's economy includes river logistics, manufacturing, uranium enrichment (the former Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant), and agriculture. We serve Paducah and McCracken County with scheduled deliveries, providing the heavy-duty pallets needed for the region's industrial operations and the food-grade pallets required by western Kentucky's agricultural processing sector.
Bardstown, KY
The Bourbon Capital of the World and one of the most important locations in America's spirits industry. Bardstown is home to or near numerous iconic distilleries including Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Heaven Hill, and Barton 1792. The bourbon industry's pallet needs are unique — barrels weighing 500+ pounds each, aging warehouses stacked seven high, and bottling operations requiring food-grade surfaces. We provide the specialized heavy-duty and heat-treated pallets that keep the bourbon industry moving.
