Ken and Karen started their business, KC and KN Hall Pty Ltd, more than two decades ago. It started as a small native forest logging operation however, foreseeing a future in the hardwood plantation Industry, their business adopted the mechanical harvesting machinery and equipment method which, through innovation, research and development over the past 20+ years, has seen the business grow.
