Made in Australia, for Australia

Australian Panels has long been committed to supporting local communities through its dedication to Australian manufacturing. Since 1989, we've been developing and contributing to industry and communities around Australia. By keeping production local, we not only deliver high-quality, sustainable building solutions but also create valuable opportunities that strengthen regional economies. From job creation to economic resilience, our operations have become a vital part of the communities where we work. We are proud that our local manufacturing practices foster job growth and community development across the nation.

Commitment to local manufacturing

Australian Panels is unwavering in its dedication to manufacturing in Australia, creating numerous job opportunities, and driving economic and social progress in local communities. With major facilities located in key regions such as Central Coast, Mount Gambier and Oberon, we have established ourselves as leaders in engineered wood solutions. By investing in state-of-the-art equipment and sustainable innovations, we ensure that our manufacturing processes remain competitive on a global scale. These advancements not only contribute to our market leadership but also create new opportunities for local employment and economic prosperity.

Job creation and economic impact

Australian Panels’ commitment to local manufacturing directly contributes to job creation and economic growth across Australia, spanning both regional and metropolitan areas. Our operations support thousands of direct and indirect jobs, from production workers and engineers to suppliers, transport operators, and construction professionals who rely on our products.

By keeping our manufacturing onshore, we ensure that economic benefits stay within local communities, strengthening businesses, creating career pathways, and fostering long-term financial stability. Furthermore, our continued investment in advanced technology and sustainable practices not only secures existing jobs but also generates new employment opportunities, reinforcing Australia’s manufacturing sector and ensuring its resilience in an evolving global market.

Empowering regional communities

We recognise the importance of supporting the social and economic development of the communities where we operate, and we seek to maximise the opportunities that can support these initiatives in these communities, building strong community connections and economic benefits in their regions.

Our major manufacturing facilities are strategically located in regional areas, where we proudly serve as major employers. Collaborating with local communities, we actively seek to enhance employment prospects and foster sustainable development in these regions.

Community partnerships and training programs

We believe that empowering local communities starts with education and skill-building. That’s why Australian Panels partners with local institutions such as TAFEs and universities to develop training programs that equip workers with the skills needed for long-term success in the manufacturing industry. Our upskilling initiatives provide employees with opportunities to advance their careers through mentorship and on-the-job training.

Our youth and apprentice programs also play a pivotal role in creating pathways for the next generation of workers. By fostering early career development, we help young people build meaningful careers while addressing skills shortages in the industry.

Sustainability and environmental stewardship

Sustainability is a core pillar of Australian Panels’ operations, and our eco-friendly practices further benefit local communities. By sourcing responsibly and implementing efficient production methods, we minimise our environmental impact while supporting sustainable forestry and local ecosystems. This commitment ensures that future generations can continue to benefit from long-term employment opportunities and a healthier planet.

Australian Panels’ commitment to local manufacturing goes beyond producing high-quality products – it’s about building stronger communities and creating lasting opportunities. By investing in people, sustainability, and regional partnerships, we contribute to the economic resilience of towns and cities across Australia.
