Welcome to the latest issue of WoodTECH.News.
Those receiving monthly issues of woodtech.news are principally those involved in sawmilling, saw-doctoring and wood manufacturing along with technology and equipment suppliers to wood producers throughout Australasia. Most have been involved and have supported the many wood products related technology events run in New Zealand and Australia over the last 20 years. Since first produced, readership of woodtech.news has climbed significantly.
This month, after repeated requests from companies across Australasia to receive this monthly tech update, we’ve built in your details if you’ve expressed an interest in sawmilling or wood manufacturing through your attendance at recent FIEA events or if you’ve highlighted to us your interest in these topics.
