Monoflo interns gain hands-on experience with summer internships
A vital part of our internal culture at Monoflo International is the availability of training and professional progression opportunities, and that includes our summer internship program.
What is the Monoflo Summer Internship Program? There are many different career paths in manufacturing, from Production and Maintenance to Customer Service and Accounting. The goal of Monoflo’s summer internship program is to give interns valuable insight into all the opportunities available so they may better understand how they want to focus their education and pursue a career when they are ready to enter the workforce.
Our internship program is mutually beneficial as interns begin to build their resumes and gain valuable experience from skilled mentors that they can apply in their future roles, while Monoflo gets a first look at some of the talented people preparing to enter the job market. Many of our interns return to Monoflo after graduating as full-time employees, so it’s a win-win.
Monoflo’s 2022 Summer Internships in Review As the summer draws to an end, so do our 2022 summer internships. This year, Monoflo had six interns join our team to gain hands-on experience related to their individual areas of interest in Sales, Engineering, Maintenance, Human Resources, and Production. We were able to catch up with one of those interns before she headed back to college in Washington, DC.
“It was a great experience learning from experts in the industry. I got the chance to help the inside sales and marketing teams and discovered that I have a passion for Sales! I hope to come back next summer and continue to utilize and grow my skill set.” – Anna, Monoflo International Summer 2022 Intern.
We wish Anna and all of our interns the best of luck in the coming school year and in their future careers.

Monoflo International, Inc. is a premier manufacturer of quality, injection molded plastic containers and pallets for manufacturing and distribution needs. Monoflo leverages its decades of experience to provide innovative and cost-effective reusable packaging solutions to the general merchandise, food distribution, automotive and manufacturing industries.
Monoflo recently completed its latest expansion project, Stonewall Production, that involved converting 32,000 sq. ft. of its 150,000 sq. ft. warehouse space into production space and will be housing six additional injection molding machines. The Krauss Maffei machines are going to be manufacturing products in their automation product line, including Stack Only Containers that are in use in ASRS warehouses across the country.
What does this expansion mean for the future of Monoflo?
Ashly Hawkins, Operations Manager, said the expansion showcases the growth of the company stating, “The addition of Stonewall production has given us the ability to produce more products in growing market segments. By incorporating automated technology in the production cells, we are able to provide a more consistent product to our customers, which stems from the ability to control each operation from beginning to end.”
This is the second major production facility expansion completed in the last year, as the company completed the construction of a 22,000 square foot “Imboden” production hall in 2021. This investment included the addition of five production machines that operate 24/7 to support increased demand and offer decreased lead times to customers.
Headquartered in Virginia, with additional manufacturing facilities in Kansas and Mexico, Monoflo continues to invest in state-of-the-art technology and equipment to provide essential products to several top Fortune companies.

February 2021 – Winchester, VA
Monoflo International is launching a new Nestable 30” x 42” Distribution Pallet this quarter. This pallet’s compact footprint makes it ideal for direct store delivery applications, facilitating maneuverability in tight spaces including doorways and narrow aisles and reducing the touches and labor needed resulting in faster, more efficient deliveries. This high-pressure injection molded pallet is manufactured for strength and durability, and the impact resistant foot design of this pallet reduces damage from fork tines, offering extended product life.
The space-saving nestable design of the NP 3042-6-IM pallet improves storage and backhaul efficiency, while key design features facilitate easier denesting with a forklift. Additionally, the lightweight design and strategically placed ergonomic handholds of this pallet enable manual operators to denest and grip the pallet safely and efficiently.
Additionally, large diameter drain holes in the feet of the pallet facilitate cleaning and sanitizing processes, and prevent water collection. Made entirely of plastic, this product can be easily recycled at the end of its useful life, helping end user’s reach their sustainability goals. For more information on this pallet, call 540-771-3077 or complete a contact form to speak with a sales team member.

February 2021 – Winchester, VA
Monoflo International launched a new Rackable 48” x 40” Pallet this month, designed for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
Manufactured using FDA-approved material and a USDA-approved design, the new Rackable 48” x 40” Pallet is available in both PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) to provide flexibility to perform in any application. This high-pressure injection molded pallet is designed to perform in supported and unsupported edge racking applications, maximizing floor storage space. The one-piece flow through design facilitates cleaning and sanitation processes to maintain hygienic properties.
For downstream distribution applications, this pallet is equipped with snap-in RFID slots that can be loaded at the time of manufacturing, or by the end user after manufacturing and delivery. The pallet can also accommodate external RFID labels, designed with deep recessed areas to keep tracking labels from getting skimmed off during transit.
And because this pallet is made using no metal inserts, it can be easily recycled at the end of its useful life, helping end user’s reach their sustainability goals. For more information on this pallet, call 540-771-3077 or complete a contact form to speak with a sales team member.

September 2020 – Winchester, VA
Monoflo International has launched its new Nestable 48 x 40 Pallet, the newest product in its next generation pallet line. Designed for one of the toughest applications, downstream grocery distribution, the NP 4840-6-IM-W G2 offers many features to deliver exceptional performance and extended product life.
This high-pressure injection molded pallet features a two-piece welded design, welded not only around the perimeter of the pallet but also throughout the pallet ribs, creating 35 in2 of welded surface area, offering superior performance with heavier loads while maintaining a low tare weight.
Understanding that it is common for forklifts to hit pallet feet causing them to shear off and be rendered useless, Monoflo engineers focused heavily on the foot design of this pallet, developing a patent pending Flex Foot that can bend to deflect impact rather than sheer off.
While nestable pallets offer desirable space saving storage and backhaul efficiency, many pallets can be challenging to denest when nesting deck to deck. This pallet’s recessed handholds enable manual operators to denest and grip the pallet with one manipulation, rather than first having to denest the pallet and then grab it to handle.
In an environment as fast paced as wholesale grocery distribution, it was important to consider load stability from initial loading and lifting to transporting under various types of acceleration. To address this, the NP 4840-6-IM-W design includes a specialized texture pattern across the pallet deck to reduce slippage. Optional features include additional texture around the perimeter of the top deck to increase main deck friction, top deck grommets, and deck lips to minimize load shifting.
Additionally, flow through drain holes in the feet of the pallet facilitate cleaning and sanitizing processes to ensure the pallet maintains its sanitary properties throughout its life. Made entirely from high-density polyethylene (HPDE), this product can be easily recycled at the end of its useful life.
