We are thrilled to announce that Basin Material Handling has completed the acquisition of Delaware Valley Box & Lumber Co., a storied, multi-decade leader in engineered wood, corrugated, and foam packaging solutions serving the Tri-State region and beyond.

Delaware Valley Box & Lumber’s story is one that resonates deeply with our own values at Basin Material Handling. Founded more than 40 years ago out of a West Trenton garage—literally starting with a single radial saw, a hammer, and a set of screwdrivers — the company grew from a one-person operation into a multi-location manufacturing business with facilities in Trenton and Glendora, New Jersey. That kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through decades of consistent, dependable service, relentless attention to quality, and genuine partnerships with customers across industries.

Today, Delaware Valley Box & Lumber stands as the largest supplier of custom wood crates for domestic and export shipping in the New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Northern Maryland area. Their team doesn’t simply manufacture boxes—they engineer packaging solutions tailored to the exact demands of each client, every time.

Quality Products + Customer Focus + Engaged Employees = Superior Packaging Solutions.

Delaware Valley Box & Lumber has built a remarkably broad and deep product offering, capable of serving clients in industries ranging from defense and aerospace to manufacturing, furniture, fine arts, and automotive. Their capabilities span three core material disciplines:

What drew Basin Material Handling to Delaware Valley Box & Lumber wasn’t just the breadth of their product line—it was how they’ve always approached their customers. Their philosophy is straightforward: be the premier provider in the region by combining quality products with engaged employees and an unwavering focus on the customer. That formula has driven their growth from a garage startup to a fixture of the mid-Atlantic manufacturing community.

Their team can custom design crates and packaging to any specification, deliver finished products directly to customers, or travel to a customer’s facility to perform packing on-site. They coordinate transportation from first mile to final destination, including documentation for international export shipments. For customers who need it, they can even arrange product testing in custom containers to ensure compliance with ISTA, ASTM, UN, DOT, military, and federal standards—before a single item ships.

That level of service—that willingness to be a true partner rather than just a vendor—is exactly what Basin Material Handling has always stood for, and it’s what made this acquisition a natural fit.

This acquisition significantly expands Basin Material Handling’s capabilities across the full packaging and material handling spectrum. Customers across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region can now access a deeper bench of wood, corrugated, and foam packaging expertise—backed by the operational strength of Basin Material Handling’s broader platform.

Existing Delaware Valley Box & Lumber customers can expect the same dedicated team, the same quality standards, and the same customer-first approach they’ve relied on for decades. Our intention is to invest in and grow these capabilities, not change what already works.

We are proud to welcome the Delaware Valley Box & Lumber team into the Basin Material Handling family. Their craftsmanship, their history, and their people are an extraordinary addition—and we look forward to building on nearly half a century of excellence together.

We’d love to connect. Reach out to our team to learn more about expanded packaging and material handling capabilities now available to you.
