Inception as Collings Wood Products Ltd<\/h5>
In 1994, Christopher Collings, a passionate woodworker, founded Collings Wood Products Ltd to produce wooden pallets. Inspired by a family need, this small venture laid the foundation for what would become Woodcats International.<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t
\n\t\t
A Name That Reflects a Broader Vision<\/h5>
To reflect its expanding product range and international aspirations, the company rebranded as Woodcats International Limited in 1999.<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t
\n\t\t
The Formative Years<\/h5>
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.<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t
\n\t\t
Pioneering Heat Treatment Certification<\/h5>
In 2004, we became Jamaica's first certified Heat Treatment facility, meeting international standards (ISPM-15) for treating wooden packaging materials.<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t
\n\t\t
New Recruits Laid the Foundation for the Future<\/h5>
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.<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t
\n\t\t
A Legacy Continues \u2013 Passing the Torch<\/h5>
In 2018, Woodcats was acquired by Derrimon Trading Company Limited, ushering in a new era of expansion and innovation under the continued leadership of General Manager Peter Douglas.<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\t\t\n
\n\t
\n\t\t
A Promising Future<\/h5>
Today, Woodcats International remains committed to growth and excellence, maintaining its family-like culture and skilled workforce, ensuring its position as a stalwart in the pallet production industry.<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
