Conner Industries, Inc.

Conner Industries is a Fort Worth, Texas manufacturer and distributor of industrial lumber and custom, mixed-material packaging - wood pallets, crates, skids, foam, corrugate and plastic. Founded in 1981, it has grown into one of the largest players in U.S. industrial wood, running roughly 18 manufacturing sites across 14 states and reporting revenue near $200 million. Under CEO David Dixon, the company has pivoted from a commodity lumber business into an integrated packaging platform, using a string of acquisitions to add engineered protective packaging, foam fabrication and logistics services like 3PL, VMI and kitting.
