A Name That Reflects a Broader Vision

To reflect its expanding product range and international aspirations, the company rebranded as Woodcats International Limited in 1999.

The Formative Years

Starting with just five employees, Woodcats International overcame numerous challenges to establish itself as a leading pallet manufacturer. The company extended its support to the local community, providing employment and fostering a sense of belonging.

Pioneering Heat Treatment Certification

In 2004, we became Jamaica's first certified Heat Treatment facility, meeting international standards (ISPM-15) for treating wooden packaging materials.

New Recruits Laid the Foundation for the Future

With the addition of Peter Douglas in 2008 and Tracy and Stephen Collings in 2012, Woodcats undertook several projects to spur growth and profitability. The launch of the Summerland gardening mulch brand in 2013 marked a significant milestone.
