and Casino (New South Wales). These locations support a variety of timber treatment and milling facilities, fabrication plants, kilns, and manufacturing and storage facilities. The company transports their own timber up and down the East Coast and provides utility pole distribution and transport services for energy corporations and associated entities in the area. Primarily a wholesaler to other businesses in the industry, DTM Timber has evolved over the last three decades to be a one stop shop for timber needs of clients both large and small. They proudly provide services under a number of environmental certifications, Mr. Davies explains. “Customers can come to us if they need poles, structural timber for their home, decking, flooring…Our wholesalers can come to us and pretty much get an entire package. We treat and manufacture everything in house. We’ve got Chain of Custody certification for our timbers, so we sell PEFC/Responsible Wood, and we have ISO 9001 Quality and 14001 Environmental certifications as well. Our timber comes from privately managed forests, public forestry operations, and plantations. All sources are required to meet the same due diligence to allow for our chain of custody certification. And each of those areas are audited to the same degree, so we can ensure that every piece of timber we manage and work with is sourced in the right way.” Keeping up with the latest advancements in harvest, treatment, and distribution technology has allowed DTM Timber to continue expanding their services and maintain the highest standards of quality in their products. Recent innovations at DTM Timber include the installation of new multi-saws, which increase the yield of board material and minimise waste.What waste is produced is repurposed through on-site finger joiners, meaning that low-value products and waste material is able to be remanufactured into premium products and put back into the market. Mr. Davies explains that DTM Timber has taken steps to ensure any waste products that cannot be used on site are passed on to other sources. “Currently, we are looking at how to make even better use of what was previously waste product.
