A Family-Owned Mill Built on Service, Quality, and Zero Waste
Midstate Forest Products have been supplying Ohio's pallet and lumber industries since 2005. We are not a broker. We are a working operation with the equipment,
expertise, and values to back up every order we take.
Family Owned Since 2005
99% Usability Guarantee
24-Hr Rush Order Turnaround
Certified Green Stream Company
From Ohio Roots to a Regional Supplier, You Can Count On
Midstate was founded in 2005 with a straightforward mission: supply pallet operations and timber buyers with exactly what they need, cut right, priced fairly, and delivered on time. Almost two decades later, that mission has not changed. What has grown is our capability. We have expanded our notching capacity to handle specialty runners up to 120 inches, added food-grade compliant product lines, and built a Green Stream operation that converts every pound of wood waste into landscaping mulch and animal bedding. We source timber directly, working with landowners on stand improvements and storm damage salvage, which means we control the full supply chain from forest to finished component. That depth of operation is what lets us offer the consistency, speed, and custom sizing that larger corporate suppliers simply cannot match. We are a family-owned business
Five Values That Guide Every Order We Take
Green Stream Company
Every piece of wood waste from our operation is converted into landscaping mulch and animal bedding. Midstate runs a true zero-waste operation, and we are
proud to carry the Green Stream designation as proof of that commitment.
99% Usability Guarantee
We do not ship boards you cannot use. Our 99% usability rate on every order
means you can count on a consistent, ready-to-use product from the first delivery
to the thousandth.
Superior Service Is Our Mission
This is not a tagline on a wall. It is the standard every order is held to. When you call us, a person answers. When you have a spec change, we adjust. When you
need it fast, we deliver.
24-Hour Rush Order Turnaround
Production floors do not stop. Neither do we. Our 24-hour rush order turnaround exists because we understand what downtime costs your operation, and we refuse to be the reason for it.
Family Owned and Rooted in the Community
Operating in the same region since 2005 means we have long-term relationships with our customers, our timber suppliers, and our community. No corporate turnover. No faceless account management. Just a local operation that shows up.
Meet the People Behind Every Order
There is a reason Midstate Pallet Solutions has been a trusted name in Ohio since 2005. It starts with the person running it.
Mark Helmuth grew up in Illinois and relocated to central Ohio in 2010, bringing with him a work ethic shaped by years in the timber and pallet industry and a personal philosophy built on endurance and resilience. Mark is a certified 2022 Boston Marathon finisher who has completed multiple marathons, and he will be the first to tell you that the lessons the road teaches and the lessons business teaches are the same: preparation matters, consistency wins, and the people depending on you deserve your best every single day.
Those values are woven into every aspect of how Midstate operates. The 24-hour rush turnaround exists because Mark understands what it means to push through when it counts. The 99% usability guarantee exists because Mark does not ship something he would not be proud to put his name on. The Green Stream mission exists because Mark believes a business has a responsibility to its community, a belief he lives out personally through nonprofit work in Latin America and home building projects in Jamaica alongside his wife Judy.
When you work with Midstate, you are working with an operation that reflects the character of the person who built it. That is not something most suppliers can say.
