With the rise of the use of GLT in Australia for an increasing array of construction types including high-rise, Hyne Timber identified an opportunity to increase competition in this market.
The simultaneous emergence of Stirling, the machinery arm of the Accurate Timber Products business, along with support from the Queensland Government Jobs and Regional Growth Fund meant Hyne could build on their long-standing relationship.
“Increased GLT manufacturing capability has been on our horizon for a number of years, to increase our volume and delivery speeds,” says Jon Kleinschmidt, Hyne Timber’s CEO.
