About Timberlink:

Timberlink Australia & New Zealand is a sustainable leading softwood timber products manufacturing and distribution business, employing over 600 people.

Our fit-for-purpose indoor and outdoor plantation pine products are suitable for building new homes, renovation projects and other industrial manufacturing applications including packaging, pallets, and furniture components.

At Timberlink we embrace innovation, and this drives our constant growth. We have recently completed upgrades to our two manufacturing sites with purpose-built manufacturing plants to adjoin our existing facilities at both of our sites. Complementing our already diverse range of products, we are now manufacturing new timber products including cross laminated & glue laminated timber (NeXTimber) and wood-plastic composite decking & screening, expanding our business into new markets. These products will take Timberlink from being primarily a structural timber manufacturer to a structural engineered timber products and solutions business.
