Timber Wholesaling in Australia

Timber wholesalers have endured difficult trading conditions over the past five years. Fluctuating demand from building and manufacturing markets, wholesale bypass and the use of alternative materials among downstream clients have contributed to the industry's poor performance. Wholesalers supply various products, including structural timbers, dressed wood panels, plywood and veneers. The markets include builders, manufacturers, retail hardware chains, independent hardware stores and garden supply centres.

Companies supply sawn timber and other wood products at a wholesale level to retailers like hardware stores, commercial and residential construction firms, carpenters and furniture producers.
