Including hardwood products that celebrate the natural beauty of Australian timber species, Pentarch Forestry offers decking, flooring, cladding, lining and structural timber, providing a sustainable and local source of Australian-made products for interior and exterior building and design projects. “We are pleased to have now fully introduced the Pentarch Forestry brand to our customers. It has been a smooth transition and the feedback has been extremely positive,” said Leon Travis, Pentarch Forestry general manager sales and distribution.
“With our long-established heritage in wood products and expertise in forestry operations, we continue to showcase this high-quality Australian hardwood range and plan to further invest in local manufacturing and regional communities.”
Pentarch Forestry also incorporates broader specialist services to forest owners, including forest management, harvesting and haulage, and optimising forestry returns by accessing the domestic and export markets with bulk woodchip, and hardwood and softwood log offerings.
“Pentarch Forestry has adopted the philosophy of adding as much value as possible to the round wood that we are entrusted to use in our manufacturing processes,” added Mr Travis. “To this end, we continue to invest in new technology to make full use of all wood that enters our sites including in the manufacture of briquettes and firewood from what would otherwise be a waste product.”
A strong presence on the North and South coasts of New South Wales, whilst also being able to source raw material from other states, enables 95% of Pentarch Forestry timber products to be Australian made.
The beauty of Australian hardwoods is extremely difficult to replicate, and Pentarch Forestry is committed to ensuring this natural and renewable resource is recognised for its superior performance, as well as its wellbeing and environmental advantages. Pentarch Forestry solid hard-wood products have Responsible Wood Chain of Custody certification, the only Australian forest certification scheme with an Australian Standard (AS4707), encouraging sustainable forest management.
In support of the local industry, Pentarch Forestry will be promoting Australian timber products among builders, architects, specifiers and consumers as the market seeks to find superior, sustainable and striking building materials for residential and commercial applications.
