About Us

Allow us to introduce the people behind Kootenay Crate Co.  We are a husband and wife team and so, we are partners in life and work!  We are Pete and Jenn and we are happy you're here.

Based in Nelson, British Columbia we are grateful to live, work and play on the traditional unceded territory of the Sinixt Confederacy Arrow Lakes peoples and the Yaqan Nukiy Ktunaxa Lower Kootenay Band peoples.  

Our mission is to create sustainable, practical, durable wood products handcrafted from locally harvested wood.  Our modular concepts and designs are flexible, and offer households storage and organizational solutions that are warm and attractive.  

In addition to our creative manufacturing work, we have a bustling family life and enjoy the natural beauty of our region by spending much time outdoors.  Pete is known to be a passionate Volkswagen enthusiast, and Jenn is a volunteer with one of the many music societies in Nelson. 

We thank you for visiting and look forward to working with you!
