  1. Increased manufacture of appearance related wood products targeted at export markets (100,000 cube or $60 million p.a. by 2013)
  2. More efficient manufacturing through yield optimisation systems ($35 million each in appearance and structural manufacturing p.a.)
  3. Greater energy efficiency and reduced water useage in wood drying ($17 million p.a.)

The above objectives will be achieved through a programme of research, development and commercialisation being undertaken as developed by the shareholders. Our aim is to capture the efficiencies of cooperative research in partnership with Government, to commercialise new Intellectual Property to maximise benefits for all Shareholders and to distribute any net revenues of the Company to the Shareholders.
