Hurfords was established in 1932 and is a leading Australian third-generation family business dedicated to the native hardwood timber industry. With its HQ in Stapylton in Queensland, it covers the entire supply chain from the management and harvesting of forest resources, processing, manufacturing, sales, and distribution of wood products in Australia and around the world.
Lignia produces modified timber at its base in Barry, Wales. It uses softwood from responsibly sourced FSC certified plantations which is then modified through a unique process. This gives it the beauty, performance and appearance of popular hardwoods.
“LIGNIA continues to go from strength to strength across the globe and we are now delighted to welcome Hurfords as a world-class distributor and partner of LIGNIA for Australasia,” Neil Ryan, CEO of Lignia said.
“Hurfords has a track record of success going back nearly 90 years and an expertise that will help us take Lignia into a bright future, especially as they are close to the end users and can therefore provide solutions for specific projects.”
Ryan Chipperfield, Group Marketing Manager of Hurford’s said: “We are excited to welcome Lignia to our growing range and offering for our customer base. Adding a product with many new features and benefits alongside the fact it is produced with sustainability in mind is a source of pride for our business. We look forward to a long relationship with Lignia.”
