Australian Panels is Australia’s leading manufacturer of board products for all joinery and structural flooring applications. Manufactured products include a range of raw and decorative products, from shelving, components, doors, flooring and prefinished panels.
The business has grown over the years on the back of significant capital investments in automated technologies and a commitment to product innovation and development. This commitment has seen the company rise to the top as best demonstrated by the world class technologies in place in its major manufacturing facilities.
Australian Panels manufactures medium density fibreboard (MDF) in the Oberon MDF facility. The current range of CUSTOMwood MDF products include standard MDF, Moisture Resistant MDF and E0 MDF. The Oberon facility also manufactures ULTRAprime MDF Mouldings and now produces STRUCTAflor flooring with the acquisition of Carter Holt Harvey’s STRUCTAflor facilities.
Alongside the MDF line, Australia’s newest $110m continuous particleboard line was installed in Oberon in 2018 to enhance manufacturing capabilities to support the supply chain. Australian Panels acquisitioned Carter Holt Harvey’s Mount Gambier facilities and the COLOURpyne brand, now manufacturing particleboard in two locations. In 2019, Australian Panels upgraded the Oberon MDF forming and press line including the ContiRoll by Siempelkamp, improving capacity and quality. The inclusion of a new Wemhöner press further strengthens manufacturing capabilities as of November 2020.
