30 PalletCentral • November-December 2021 palletcentral.com Industrializadora de Maderas La Union S aludos a todos: Permítanos presentarnos, somos Industrializadora de Maderas la Unión empresa Mexicana dedicada al diseño y manufactura de tarimas de madera y embalajes. Fundada el año 2000 con planta principal en Tijuana, BC y oficinas en San Diego, CA. Contamos con mas de 150 clientes de USA y Asia mayormente del ramo médico y electrónico. Hemos luchado por más de dos décadas por posicionarnos como empresa líder, desafiando situaciones rutinarias y criticas como la pasada contingencia sanitaria que elevo precios de madera a niveles máximos nunca vistos. Para un mejor enfoque diremos que en este negocio existen dos retos principales: 1. La madera es "un commodity" muy volátil cuyo precio histórico tiende siempre a la alza y este factor nos obliga a re inventarnos continuamente para poder subsistir ante la competencia. 2. También la madera como elemento natural implica defectos o condiciones muy particulares que nos han hecho expertos en minimizar desperdicios, saber negociar con nuestros clientes y entender juntos esta materia. Actualmente somos una empresa sólida y líder en el ramo gracias al apoyo de nuestros clientes y la confianza que hemos construido mediante cumplimiento puntual en todos los campos. Hemos desarrollado un sistema efectivo de diseño, fabricación y re ingeniería del producto "alineándonos" a los planes y expectativas de nuestros clientes, convirtiéndonos en una "fuente consistente y confiable" de suministro. Miembros activos de la NWPCA con licencia #667 desde el 2014. El programa PDS que utilizamos para diseño y cálculos de tarimas ha sido por demás una herramienta invaluable para mostrar con base técnica y científica que operamos profesionalmente y nuestros productos están avalados por una organización seria y reconocida internacionalmente. En conclusión, nosotros recomendamos ampliamente a la NWPCA y creemos que toda empresa del ramo en Mexico o cualquier otro lugar debería contar con esta importante herramienta que unida a nuestra basta experiencia nos proyecta como empresa de clase mundial. Gracias de parte de Staff y Directivos Cordialmente Arturo Alba Montero MBS – Plant Engineering Industrializadora de Maderas La Union G reetings to all! Allow me to introduce ourselves, we are Industrializadora de Maderas la Unión, a Mexican company dedicated to designing and manufacturing wooden pallets and packaging. La Unión was founded in 2000 with a main plant in Tijuana, Baja California, and an office in San Diego, California. We have more than 150 clients from the United States and Asia, mostly from the medical and electronic sectors. Over the last two decades, we have worked to position ourselves as a leading company, overcoming routine and critical situations, such as the past health contingency that saw wood prices reach levels never seen before. Over time we have learned that to thrive in the wooden packaging industry, it's the best to acknowledge there are two main challenges that face this business: 1. Wood is a very volatile commodity whose historical price always tends to rise, and this has forced us to continually reinvent ourselves in order to survive in the face of competition; and, 2. As wood is a natural element, it contains imperfections or special conditions, which have made us experts in minimizing waste and taught us how to negotiate with our clients, so that together we can appreciate physical properties of lumber. We are a reputable company and a leader in the field thanks to the support of our clients and the trust that we have built through punctual compliance. We have developed an effective product design, manufacturing and reengineering system "aligning" with the plans and expectations of our customers, becoming a "consistent and reliable source" to supply wooden pallets and packaging. We have been active members of the NWPCA since 2014 and use the PDS program, license #667, to design our pallets. e calculations that the software provides has been an invaluable tool to show on a technical and scientific basis that we operate professionally, and our products, are endorsed by a serious and internationally recognized organization. In conclusion, we highly recommend the NWPCA, and we believe that every wooden pallet and packaging and company in Mexico – or elsewhere – should have this important tool that, together with our vast experience, make us as a world-class company. ank you from La Unión Staff and Directors.
