    Don Remmey provides an overview of his pallet-making operation for Penn College forestry students ...... and takes them on a tour of the manufacturing floor.Instructor Erich R. Doebler's Forest Products class visited Remmey, The Pallet Company, in Beaver Springs on Monday, gaining firsthand insight into secondary manufacturing and use of low-grade product. Owner Don Remmey provided a tour of the facility, explained the process, and discussed with the class the tribulations of manufacturing products for domestic and international transport. "It was a great opportunity to see potential employment for the students," said Doebler (who also provided the photos), "and also a way for students to see where the low-grade lumber is utilized here in Pennsylvania." Remmey manufactures and produces about 2.2 million pallets each year out of its Beaver Springs and Lehighton plants.
