Conner Industries

Conner manufactures custom pallets and crates from southern yellow pine and hardwoods, alongside integrated packaging that combines wood, corrugate, foam, and plastics. The firm also provides export-compliant lumber and packaging for international shipment requirements. Its design team and packaging engineers tailor solutions to specific product protection and supply-chain optimization needs.

The firm offers service solutions including third-party logistics, vendor-managed inventory, kitting, assembly, and co-locating. These programs aim to shift clients' operational burden away from warehousing and repackaging. The model is built to reduce total packaging cost while keeping production lines moving.

Conner Industries operates as a private industrial manufacturing and service company. It does not operate external funds or manage third-party investor capital. The firm's public profile reflects a non-financial operating entity serving industrial end-markets.

The firm serves manufacturers across energy, oil and gas, automotive, aerospace and defense contracting, chemicals and plastics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, HVAC and appliance, heavy industrial pipe and steel, agricultural equipment, and logistics. It designs packaging for products ranging from lightweight consumer goods to heavy military equipment.

The appointment of Rodger Fuller, formerly COO of Sonoco, to the board of directors points toward a governance emphasis on scaled manufacturing operations. Fuller's background in industrial and consumer packaging at a publicly traded company suggests Conner is reinforcing operational discipline and growth capability at the board level.
