Australian Made Week is a time to support local makers all around the country. Every time you purchase Australian-made products it helps support Australian workers and the economy.
Australian Made Week 2024 runs from the 20th May to 26th May. We thought we’d take this opportunity to share what it means to buy Australian manufactured LVL.
By purchasing Australian products, you deliver real value to your business and the lives of other Australians.
Australian-made products are manufactured with very high standards, often surpassing the quality of imports. They adhere to Australian health, safety, environmental, and labour regulations during manufacturing. Strict environmental policies govern manufacturing in Australia. This results in lower energy usage, increased recycling, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions compared to imported goods.
Australian products usually come with local customer support. The supplier is just a phone call away if you ever need help or information about the product.
Just because you buy your Laminated Veneer Lumber from an Australian-based company, you can’t assume that your LVL has been made in Australia from Australian timber. Wesbeam is Australia’s only homegrown manufacturer supplier of LVL beams and LVL I-Joists.
Our state-of-the-art facility in Western Australia uses locally-grown Maritime Pine, Radiata Pine and Kauri. We’re focused on keeping our forests healthy and productive for future generations. Our trees are harvested from forests owned by the WA government and managed under strict environmental and sustainability regulations by the Forest Products Corporation.
From tree to trade, Wesbeam has full control over the supply and custody certification chains. This means you can rely on the quality of our LVL products and the origin of the timber used to manufacture them. Unlike suppliers of imported LVL products, having such a reliable source of local timber close at hand means we can meet demand and protect our customers from increasingly volatile foreign exchange rates.
Wesbeam are Australians supplying the Australian building and construction industry. That’s something we’re extremely proud of.
