Wesbeam announces 6-month price hold to support industry

27 September 2024

In the face of rising costs across industries, Wesbeam, as Australia’s only LVL manufacturer, is stepping up to support Australian businesses. With the prices of energy, logistics, commercial leases, and materials increasing, many companies are passing these costs onto their customers. However, Wesbeam is taking a different approach, offering stability when it’s needed most.

Effective immediately, Wesbeam is proud to announce a SIX-MONTH PRICE HOLD GUARANTEE on all LVL and LVL I-joist products until March 2025. While others are increasing their prices, Wesbeam is committed to maintaining current pricing for the next six months to help customers plan and operate with certainty during these challenging times.

“We recognize the pressures our customers are under, and we want to support them by offering price stability and supply security,” said James Malone, CEO of Wesbeam. “As Australia’s only manufacturer of LVL and LVL I-joist products, we are uniquely positioned to control what others cannot. This price hold reflects our commitment to Australian businesses and the residential housing market.”

Wesbeam is more than just a manufacturer. With a state-of-the-art production facility in Western Australia, secure and guaranteed timber resources, and nationwide distribution, engineering, and sales centres, Wesbeam ensures consistent, uninterrupted supply across Australia. In addition to this, Wesbeam offers industry-leading technical support to both customers and their builder clients.

“Our world-class manufacturing facility is equipped to meet demand, backed by a nationwide network of support. Supply security and price stability are at the core of what we offer, ensuring our customers succeed today and into the future,” added James.

As an Australian-owned and operated company, Wesbeam prides itself on delivering certified, high-quality products and exceptional service. The decision to hold prices for six months demonstrates the company’s commitment to helping businesses succeed despite the current economic challenges.
