Major upgrade
Big River Group has recently completed a significant upgrade to its Grafton timber factory in the NSW Northern Rivers. This $22-million project, supported by the Australian and NSW Governments under the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, is a game-changer for the sustainable manufacturing of specialty technical timber products, enhancing the supply to the construction industry across NSW.‘This upgrade signifies not just an expansion of our operational capacity, but a commitment to innovation, sustainability and the future of the timber industry in NSW,’ says John Lorente, CEO of Big River Group. ‘We are poised to substantially impact the availability of high-quality timber products while creating jobs locally, regionally and nationally.’
