It is hard to believe that eleven years have come and gone since Mona Tracy and her husband Terah started Trace Equipment. I feel fortunate that my relationship with this fine couple goes back close to 30 years. Indeed, it is hard to think of the pallet recycling industry without thinking about Mona. Few industry suppliers are more highly respected than these two people.

            While Mona has worked most of her life with pallet recyclers, Terah worked with the Department of Justice until he retired in 2003. Trace Equipment started in May 1998 when Mona introduced it to the pallet industry at the Richmond Show. Mona had made a living by selling machinery and services with Woodthorn Corp. When Woodthorn closed down, Mona picked right up with her own lines of machinery and continued providing professional products and services to her friends in the pallet industry. In addition to being a good listener and business adviser, Terah has a good mechanical mind. He has helped with machinery design as well as sales and service.

            Mona and Terah believe that their values and integrity carry over from their lives into their everyday business practices. Trace Equipment Corporation offers a complete line of machinery for pallet recyclers and manufacturers. From hand repairing tools to automatic nailing systems, Trace offers solutions.

            One of the things that has made this company stand out is the ability and willingness of the couple to help people with answers and solutions. Many pallet company owners need a dependable source to put things into a practical perspective. Trace works with individuals to answer their questions. Mona said, “We have positioned Trace as a tremendous asset to aid each pallet company in its development. We provide the best machine for the job for each customer by customizing the set-up to suit individual needs.”

            Trace’s complete line of machinery includes nailing stations, disassemblers (disc machines and bandsaws), trim saws, chop saws, notchers, chamfering machines, stake machines, grinders and automatic nailing systems – everything from complete systems down to individual stand-alone machines.

            Mona closed with, “We adhere to our goal of providing high standards of sales and service to our customers. With a phone call to 877-778-7223, Trace Equipment becomes your partner in the pallet industry.”

            Happy Birthday to Trace Equipment.
