Basin Material Handling Acquires Gateway Manufacturing

We are excited to announce that Basin Material Handling has completed the acquisition of Gateway Manufacturing, Inc. This milestone marks a significant step forward in our mission to offer customers the most comprehensive industrial packaging solutions available — and we couldn’t be more proud to welcome the Gateway team into the Basin family.

Why Gateway Manufacturing?

Our customers have always come first, and they’ve made it clear that choice matters. As demand grows for custom wood crates and skids alongside our existing packaging offerings, we set out to find a partner that shared our commitment to quality, reliability, and customer service. Gateway Manufacturing rose to the top for every reason that matters.

Who is Gateway Manufacturing?

ABOUT GATEWAY MANUFACTURING, INC.

A Full-Service Contract Manufacturer Since 1994

Founded in 1994 in Kentucky, Gateway Manufacturing built its reputation on a simple idea: be a true partner in manufacturing, not just a vendor. Over more than three decades, they evolved from a contract manufacturer into what they call a “solution provider”—a team capable of tackling challenges across a wide range of processes, including ones they’d never encountered before.

Gateway’s strength is their breadth. They offer engineering design and support, purchasing, logistics, and direct labor — genuine end-to-end outsourcing that lets customers redirect their own staff to higher-value work. Their capabilities span:

  • Wood crates and skids
  • Contract packaging
  • Mechanical assembly
  • Pick-pack-merge
  • Engineering design
  • Sub-assembly

What This Means for Customers

The addition of Gateway’s custom wood crate and pallet capabilities closes a meaningful gap in our product lineup. Whether your shipments require standard pallets, heavy-duty wood crates built to spec, or complex custom configurations for fragile or oversized freight, Basin Industries can now handle itall under one roof.

Beyond wood packaging, the acquisition brings Gateway’s engineering design team and their deep contract manufacturing expertise directly into our fold. Customers who need more than a product—who need a genuine partner to solve complex logistics and packaging challenges—now have even more resources to draw on.

For existing Gateway customers, rest assured: the people, the processes, and the commitment to quality that you’ve relied on aren’t going anywhere. We’re investing in them.

Looking Ahead

This acquisition is part of a broader effort to make Basin Industries the most capable and responsive industrial packaging partner in the region. We believe that when our customers grow, we grow—and giving them more choices is the clearest path to that shared success.

We’ll be sharing more details in the coming weeks, including how to access Gateway’s custom wood crate and pallet services through Basin Industries. In the meantime, please reach out to your Basin Industries contact with any questions—we’re here to help.
