TOP White & Company was founded in 2007 by Dr. Marshall S. White as an independent consulting firm focused on delivering 'systems-based' unit load solutions to manufacturers and distributors. Recognized by Modern Material Handling Magazine as one of the Top 10 MH professionals in the new millennium, Dr. White is a globally recognized expert on unit load analysis and pallet design. White & Co's innovative approach focuses on 'system' design that incorporates knowledge of how packaging, pallets and unit-load handling equipment interact during storage and distribution to deliver maximum efficiency, safety and cost savings. People oriented and customer centered, White & Co has a commitment to produce feasible and economic solutions. Dr. White's client portfolio includes many Fortune 1000 companies including Georgia Pacific, IBM, Chep, Chevron, QVC, Coca Cola, GAF, Owens Corning, Exxon/Mobil, Anheauser Bush, Proctor and Gamble, Dole, Eastman Chemical, Kodak, Dupont and many more. The firm provides a full complement of material handling experts specializing in key aspects of the unit load including: pallet design and performance, corrugated and plastic packaging, and the design of automated material handling systems. Our specialists work together daily and frequently 'cross-train' in multiple disciplines to better understand the interactions of the unit load during handling, further amplifying their ability to identify opportunities to maximize efficiency, improve performance and reduce costs. White & Co also offers the broadest range of unit load evaluation and material handling design and efficiency studies available publicly within the United States today. We do this by contracting all of our testing services exclusively through Virginia Tech's Center For Unit Load Design and the The William H. Sardo Jr. Pallet & Container Research Laboratory, where Dr. White served as the Director of both research centers. These laboratories feature comprehensive packaging and automated material handling testing equipment typically found in many automated warehouses.
