Fueling OrePac’s Success: How Papé Material Handling and Papé Kenworth Power Performance

Pape Material Handling keeps OrePac Building Products satisfied with equipment.

In the fast-paced world of wholesale building materials, success depends on speed, efficiency, and reliability at every link in the supply chain. OrePac Building Products thrives in this demanding environment thanks to a trusted partnership with two Papé divisions: Papé Kenworth and Papé Material Handling.

From highways to warehouse floors, Papé provides OrePac with the tools, equipment, and expertise required to move product and keep customers satisfied. Watch how OrePac runs strong with Hyster forklifts from Papé.

OrePac: A Leader in Building Materials

Since its founding in 1977, OrePac has grown into one of the most respected distributors of building products in the West. With ten strategically located distribution centers, OrePac supplies contractors, builders, and retailers with everything from doors and decking to millwork, siding, windows, weatherization systems, and hardware.

The company’s mission is clear: “make complicated simple” by providing “unmatched service, operations, and logistics.” And to do that, OrePac relies on a finely tuned logistics network backed by Papé Kenworth and Papé Material Handling.

On the Road: Papé Kenworth’s Impact

Efficient distribution starts on the road, so OrePac’s ability to keep customers supplied depends on a reliable fleet of trucks that can deliver thousands of products safely and on time. Learn more about how Papé Kenworth’s trucks keep OrePac fuel efficient, durable, and comfortable here.

Strength Behind the Scenes: Papé Material Handling’s Role

While trucks are responsible for transporting OrePac materials across the West, Papé Material Handling ensures warehouse operations run smoothly behind the scenes.

  • Forklifts Built for Heavy Loads – OrePac’s warehouses handle doors, lumber, decking, and other bulky building materials. Papé Material Handling supplies high-capacity forklifts capable of lifting, stacking, and transporting heavy loads with precision and safety.
  • Adaptable Solutions for Every Facility – From electric forklifts for indoor operations to internal combustion models for outdoor yards, Papé Material Handling offers equipment tailored to OrePac’s unique operational requirements. When demand spikes, OrePac also benefits from flexible rental options, ensuring they always have the right equipment on hand during peak periods.
  • Unmatched Regional Support – With 40+ locations across five states, Papé Material Handling delivers fast access to parts, maintenance, and training services. This ensures OrePac’s warehouses stay productive, even when unexpected challenges arise.

A Unified Approach

What makes this partnership especially powerful and efficient is the synergy between Papé Kenworth and Material Handling. OrePac doesn’t just receive high-quality trucks and forklifts; it gains access to comprehensive service, support, and strategic planning designed to keep operations moving.

  • Seamless Fleet and Warehouse Integration – OrePac’s trucks and lifts work together as part of a larger, coordinated system. Papé’s specialists help OrePac optimize workflows, matching equipment with operational needs to maximize efficiency across the entire supply chain.
  • Proactive Maintenance and Training – Beyond supplying the equipment itself, Papé offers driver and operator training, preventive maintenance programs, and remote monitoring solutions. This comprehensive approach empowers OrePac’s team to work more efficiently while extending the lifespan of its machinery investments.

Results That Deliver: Moving Forward Together

At Papé, we measure success by our customers’ success. For OrePac, that means keeping trucks on the road, forklifts in motion, and products flowing smoothly from warehouse to jobsite.

With Papé Kenworth and Papé Material Handling working in tandem, OrePac is better equipped than ever to deliver on its promise of making complicated simple.

Papé. Keeps You Moving.
