CMTP’s Albury site sits just north of the city at Thurgoona, on the NSW side of the Murray River. It covers the Hume Highway corridor between Sydney and Melbourne, the Riverina, southern NSW, and the northern Victorian border region. For operations running freight between the two capitals, or for regional manufacturers who don’t want to pay metro freight, Albury is often the best-positioned CMTP site in the country.
Regional centres like Albury are underserved by the big interstate suppliers, who centralise manufacturing in Melbourne or Sydney and add freight to the unit price for anything outside the metros. Local manufacturing here means a pallet built nearby, not trucked in from 300km away.

CMTP Albury manufactures timber pallets, crates, cases and produce bins from our Thurgoona site, right on the Hume Highway between Sydney and Melbourne. That corridor brings a wide mix of customers, from Riverina growers and processors to freight operators running between the two capitals. Standard runs and custom builds come off the same floor, so the odd job doesn't need a second supplier.
Albury manufactures timber pallets to AS 4068 and ISPM 15 certified export pallets, with custom builds where the freight justifies it. The site’s positioning on a major freight corridor means a steady mix of standard and custom work.

Crates and cases of all shapes and sizes to suit your industrial needs. Our range covers every industry need from heavy-duty storage to food-grade compliance. A CMTP case or crate will protect and move your product safely, either domestically or certified to ISPM 15 for international transport.

We supply quality wooden bins and crates to protect perishable goods, keeping produce fresher for longer, and they're a sustainable alternative to plastic. Bins are built to meet growers' needs, including one tonne, half tonne and quarter tonne capacities, which matters across the Riverina and the northern Victorian growing regions.

Complex and oversize custom work is engineered with CMTP's 3D CAD design team, so an Albury customer gets the same design capability as head office without changing supplier.
LEARN MOREAlbury is on the NSW side of the Murray, governed by Albury City Council, with Wodonga directly across the river in Victoria. The twin cities form one of regional Australia’s larger metropolitan areas, and Albury alone has a Gross Regional Product of $5.25 billion as of June 2024, growing around 4.7 percent year-on-year. Manufacturing is one of the backbone industries alongside healthcare, construction, and public administration. Steel, automotive parts, concrete, sawmills and printing all settled here through the second half of the 20th century, and a meaningful share of those operations or their successors still run today. The Hume Highway runs straight through, which is why most Sydney to Melbourne freight passes through Albury rather than around it.

Ned Seehusen
Operations Manager Albury
Ned originally trained as a civil engineer and progressed through our Colac and Derrimut operations before stepping up to lead the Albury team. He brings the design and engineering instinct to the role, which is why he’s the right person to talk to if your freight needs a custom build or an alternative spec rather than a standard pallet.
We service Albury-Wodonga and the border region, the Riverina, southern NSW and north-east Victoria. Interstate transport runs weekly to all corners of Australia.
3-4 days is a typical lead time for standard CMTP products, with custom builds typically extending further due to the nature of the custom build process.
Standard pallet range
The Albury team understands that things don’t always go to plan and is adaptable to your needs. We have many case studies that entail very quick turnaround times, so give the team a call for these express orders.

The customer mix is distinctively regional. Riverina food and beverage processing makes up a meaningful share, including dairy, meat, and grain operations. Local manufacturing, transport and logistics businesses running the Hume corridor, and regional building product distributors round out the order book. The northern Victorian border region (Wodonga, Wangaratta, the King and Ovens valleys) also falls into the regular delivery footprint.

CMTP operates multiple sites across Australia. Find your nearest location below.
Yes. CMTP manufactures timber pallets, export pallets and custom pallet solutions from its Albury facility, supporting customers across the Hume corridor, the Riverina, southern NSW and northern Victoria.
The Albury facility manufactures standard timber pallets to AS 4068, ISPM 15 certified export pallets, custom builds, and packaging consumables.
Yes. The Albury site services the Hume Highway corridor, the Riverina, southern NSW, the Goulburn Valley, and the northern Victorian border region including Wodonga, Wangaratta, and the King and Ovens valleys, with weekly interstate transport to all states.
Yes. CMTP’s Albury team can design custom pallet solutions based on product dimensions, weight requirements, handling methods, and transport conditions.
Yes. CMTP manufactures ISPM 15 certified export pallets that comply with international timber packaging requirements for export freight.
3-4 days is a typical lead time for standard CMTP products. Custom builds run longer depending on the design. Contact the Albury team for current availability, and call for express orders.
The Australian standard 1165 x 1165 pallet is the most common order, alongside Euro and US export footprints. Albury also builds to custom dimensions where a standard footprint doesn’t suit the product or the container. Tell the team the load, the handling equipment and the destination and they’ll spec it.
An export pallet is a timber pallet that has been heat treated and certified to ISPM 15, which is what lets it leave the country. Any solid timber packaging heading overseas has to meet it. If your freight stays in Australia a standard wooden pallet does the job. If it is going on a ship or a plane it needs to be an export pallet.
A crate is an open slatted timber container, a case is fully enclosed. Crates are lighter and cheaper for robust goods. Cases give more protection for anything fragile, dust or moisture sensitive, or high value. The Albury team will tell you which one suits the job.
Yes. Cases and crates built for international freight are ISPM 15 certified, the same as export pallets. Heavy or oversize machinery is a common use, and those builds are engineered to the load rather than pulled off a shelf.
Yes. Produce bins and bulk bins are a core part of the Albury order book. Wooden bins protect perishable goods and keep produce fresher for longer, and they’re a sustainable alternative to plastic. Bins are built to suit growers’ handling requirements, including one tonne, half tonne and quarter tonne capacities, and can be designed to your own specification where a standard bin doesn’t fit the operation.
Yes, provided they’re ISPM 15 certified. Any solid timber packaging leaving Australia has to meet ISPM 15, and that applies to produce bins and bulk bins the same way it applies to pallets. CMTP manufactures ISPM 15 certified timber packaging, so bins destined for international freight are treated and marked to comply. Tell the Albury team the destination market when you order, because some countries add their own requirements on top of ISPM 15.
Consumables round out the range so an operation can get pallet supply and the consumables that go with it from the one site, rather than splitting the order across suppliers. Ask the Albury team what’s held locally.
Yes. Consolidating consumables onto the same delivery as your pallets is the point of stocking them, and it saves you a second freight movement.
Yes. CMTP runs a 3D CAD design capability based at the Colac head office, so Albury customers can have a pallet, case or crate engineered around the product rather than forcing the product onto a standard footprint.
Product dimensions and weight, how it’s handled (forklift, pallet jack, crane), how it’s transported and where it’s going, and any compliance requirements such as ISPM 15 or food grade. The more of that you have up front, the faster the Albury team can come back with a spec and a price.
If you're running a regional NSW or northern Victorian operation and want pallet supply that doesn't have to come from Sydney or Melbourne.
