explains about NFSP’s corporate
culture.
What is important to note is that
the company has been overcoming
such challenges for years. Back
in the 1980s, for example, NSFP
processed fire-regenerated forest
areas in Victoria, an experience
that contributed significantly to the
company over the years. In-depth
research, on-hands management,
clear focus and well-thought-out goals
are the pillars on which NFSP has built
its successful business. The road has
always been rocky but it is through
experience and good practices that
the company was and will continue to
be one of the most important parts of
the forestry sector in Tasmania.
As for the future, James seems quite
optimistic. He vehemently believes
that forestry is a sustainable business
with a bright future and the trends of
the market validate him. Wood is an
excellent resource and it is used in
an incredible variety of applications.
The company fully supports it for
its durability and sustainability and
it certainly looks like it will be a
huge part of major industries like
construction in the years to come.
As such, NSFP will once again be at
the forefront of the sustainable wood
industry, promoting its beneficial
uses and ensuring its place as a
company with valued and tested
practices.
After all, in order to maximize value,
innovation is the only way forward.
“Our ability to actually produce new
value-add wood products is well and
truly there. The future of innovation in
the forestry industry is to talk about
the development of new products”,
suggests James. Even though the
industry faces a lot of hardships,
those with the ability to recognize
where the market is heading will be
able to keep their heads in the game
and expand even further.
