Welcome to a softwood mill owned by Hyne at Tumbarumba NSW. Here we'll be taking you for tour through their manufacturing facilities, where all of their timber is produced from locally and sustainably grown radiata pine.
Timber is the ultimate renewable resource. It is replanted after every harvest.
Hyne has been in the saw milling business since 1882 and they would not be here now if the timber wasn’t completely sustainable.
Many people still think of sawmills producing timber through lots of burly blokes in checkered shirts. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Today, you’re going to see part of a contemporary industry worth up to 24 billion dollars annually and employing over 120, 000 people.
It is highly automated with scanning and optimisation technology behind every piece of timber.
