Neville Smith back in the hardwood timber businessFriday 25 Nov 2011 The Neville Smith family are back in the Hardwood timber business. Australia's newest hardwood processing business, Neville Smith Forest Products Pty Ltd (NSFP) is located in Launceston (Mowbray), Tasmania and will be supplying the local, domestic and international markets with high quality, sustainable Tasmanian Oak hardwood products.In 1924 Neville Smith Timber Pty Ltd was set up and grew to be one of Australia's most prominent hardwood processing businesses. The business was sold in 2004 to ITC Ltd who in turn sold to Gunns Ltd in 2009. The processing site in Mowbray, Launceston is the same site that back in the 1940's Neville started his Tasmanian Oak value adding business. NSFP acquired the site earlier in 2011 and have been refitting the site with processing equipment. As a result of Gunns decision to exit the hardwood processing sector, NSFP progressed discussions with Gunns to acquire parts of their Tasmanian hardwood processing business. From 1 December 2011, NSFP will be producing and supplying Tasmanian Oak nationwide. |
