from Michigan Business Network · host Michigan Business Network
Chris Holman welcomes Kylee Guenther, Co-Founder, 3R Pallets, Okemos, MI. Kylee Guenther, co-founder of 3R Pallets based in Okemos, Michigan, is disrupting the $26 billion shipping pallet industry by offering cost-effective pallets made from recycled plastics and crop waste, replacing traditional wooden pallets that consume vast amounts of lumber. The company aims to help customers ship more efficiently while reducing environmental impact. 3R Pallets has received strong support from the Lansing Regional SmartZone and was recently accepted into TechStars, an internationally recognized startup accelerator with roughly a 1% acceptance rate, where the team spent three months refining their business skills and building key connections. The company is planning a major investor funding round to close current customer deals, expand their market, and hire talent, while using the Lansing area as a warehousing and distribution hub given its proximity to major shipping corridors. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN’s YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
