Litco International
Litco International Inc. is an example of an entity that is dependent on fiber from wood recycling. The company utilizes 20 million pounds of pre- and post-consumer wood chips in the production of around 600,000 presswood pallets each year, as well as for other molded wood products.

In business since 1962 and headquartered in Vienna, Ohio, Litco has two strategic business units. These include its Molded Product Group as well as The Product Protection/Damage Prevention Team.

The Molded Products Group focuses on molded wood products addressing the needs of shipping and industrial packaging, such as presswood pallets, core rings and divider boards. Custom molded products are also available. Litco International is the exclusive North American supplier of Inca(R) Presswood pallets.

The Molded Products Group also offers other products and services, including a line of plastic pallets, as well as pallet services including management, leasing, removal and recycling. Litco purchases full loads of good condition used presswood pallets which it sorts and sells for reuse. The company also picks up loads of broken presswood pallets, which it recycles.

The Product Protection / Damage Prevention Team offers dunnage materials such as dunnage air bags, corner protectors, cornerboards, and honeycomb/corrugated void fill, separator sheets and pads.

LITCO donates 15% of corporate profits to Christian and charitable causes. LITCO's corporate motto is "With God, All Things Are Possible"
