UFP Industries, through its affiliate UFP Packaging, has acquired the assets of C&L Wood Products, Inc., a pallet and mulch manufacturer based in Hartselle, Alabama, with trailing 12-month sales of $24.8 million as of November 2024. C&L will now operate as part of UFP Packaging's PalletOne business unit, a leading U.S. manufacturer of machine-built pallets.

C&L, founded in 1975, was acquired by Henry and Blythe Bowman in 1996 when it had 10 employees and less than $1 million in revenue. The company has since expanded significantly under Bowman’s leadership, growing to approximately 115 employees and serving customers within a 150-mile radius.
