UPLAND, CA, November 03, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Laura Rebeca Gonzalez has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. Gonzalez has established herself as a prominent figure in the pallet industry, holding the position of owner at Preferred Pallets since 1998. Over the course of 27 years, she has overseen all aspects of the business, including managing the buying and selling of pallets, manufacturing and refurbishing products, and soliciting logistics companies for warehousing needs. Her responsibilities also encompass providing custom-made pallets tailored to specific products, recycling wood and other materials, and maintaining strong relationships through word-of-mouth referrals. Ms. Gonzalez is recognized for delivering high-quality service to retain customers as a trusted vendor.

A defining milestone in Ms. Gonzalez's career was her acquisition and development of a six-and-a-half-acre lot. She invested significantly in transforming the property into a customized yard, later selling it during a favorable real estate market for a substantial profit. This achievement enabled her to relocate and invest in additional commercial property, directly contributing to the growth of her company. The transaction not only demonstrated her resilience in navigating economic fluctuations but also underscored her acumen as an entrepreneur.

Prior to founding Preferred Pallets, Ms. Gonzalez began her professional journey in 1991 with another pallet company. Initially hesitant to enter the workforce after recently having a child, she was encouraged to assist with the business. Her early contributions proved invaluable, and she quickly developed an interest in the industry. Despite her significant impact on her employer's success, she was not offered a partnership, which motivated her to establish her own enterprise in 1998.

Throughout her 34-year career, Ms. Gonzalez has distinguished herself as one of the few women to achieve long-term success in the predominantly male-dominated pallet sector. Her leadership and perseverance have made her a respected presence within the field.

Ms. Gonzalez's academic background includes an Associate of Arts in business from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, earned in 1992. The knowledge gained through her studies provided a strong foundation for managing business operations and making strategic decisions that have propelled her company forward.

Ms. Gonzalez attributes her achievements to hard work and unwavering honesty. In an environment where dishonesty can be prevalent, she has set herself apart by prioritizing loyalty and trust with customers—values that have fostered enduring business relationships throughout her distinguished career.

Born in Los Angeles, Ms. Gonzalez is also dedicated to her family and personal interests. She is the mother of two daughters and enjoys traveling, hiking and bowling outside of her professional commitments.

Looking ahead, Ms. Gonzalez intends to keep Preferred Pallets operational as she transitions toward retirement, with plans for her daughters to assume leadership of the business. Confident in their abilities, she believes her children will continue the legacy and guide the company through future industry changes.
