Grand Traverse Pallet
About Grand Traverse Pallet
Grand Traverse Pallet is a sawmill and pallet shop at 7161 Essex Road in Ellsworth, Michigan. It takes in logs, cuts them in house, and makes custom pallets, crates, skids and wood dunnage for businesses across northern Michigan. Its by-products are sawdust, wood chips and bark mulch. Owner Mike Rottman runs the business with Candace. The company was founded in December 2000 as Grand Traverse Assembly, doing assembly work for area manufacturers. By 2002 it had moved into pallet production. It later bought the Drenth Brothers sawmill operation in Ellsworth, so sawing, assembly and shipping all happen under one roof. A heat treat chamber went in during 2004 for pallets shipped overseas, and the shop is heat treat certified. Its own trucks deliver finished product to customers. The pages say the business "converts 100% of the incoming logs" into its highest use. It suits a landowner near Ellsworth who wants a nearby mill that takes logs and turns them into pallets, crates and mulch, and who is ready to ask directly how logs are bought.
