Timberlink to Add Timber Treatment Plant to Previously Announced Tarpeena Facility Upgrade
Timberlink adds to expansion
Timberlink, the Australian timber products manufacturing business owned by investment funds managed by New Forest, announced today (9-10-21) a $5.3 million (AUD) upgrade to its Tarpeena manufacturing facility, with the installation of a new Light Organic Solvent Preservative timber treatment plant.
Timberlink chief executive Ian Tyson said the expansion leveraged the upgrades announced last year, which will add a Cross Laminated Timber and Glue Laminated Timber manufacturing facility to the Tarpeena site. “This investment in a dedicated treatment plant is another key development in the creation of a world-class timber processing facility in Tarpeena,” Mr. Tyson said. “New permanent roles will be created at the site, in addition to a number of jobs created during construction.”
The project will start this month and is expected to be completed early in 2023.
