Denik Wood Enterprise, one of the country’s largest wood treatment companies, recently received help from DOST-FPRDI in rehabilitating its plant in Matalam, North Cotabato.

Along with forklift trucks, pallets make it easier to ship and store all sorts of commodities around the world. The surge in the demand for local wooden pallets began with the onset of globalization in the 1990s.
