ASH’s 2023 Year in Review

5 minutes
December 18th, 2023

It's been a big year at ASH. Here's what we achieved in 2023.

  • Over 1.5 million products sold across three species – GoodWood, Plantation Oak, Glacial Oak
  • 36% increase in sales of Glacial Oak
  • 402,397 staircase components sold
  • 3350 customers served through the Retail Centre
  • 14,493,388kg of CO2 equivalent stored in long term timber products
  • 136 minutes is all it takes for the forests to regrow the timber we produced this year

Our MASSLAM team have also had a very successful year…

  • 6050 MASSLAM members designed, pressed and CNCed
  • 15 major commercial projects proudly featuring MASSLAM
  • Achieving EWPAA certification for MASSLAM SL35 and MASSLAM 45 – the only mass timber glulam in Australia to hold this certification.

 

Here's what else we're celebrating.

  • Adding a total of 4,688m2 of additional roof area for both manufacturing and storage spaces.
  • Developed 14,000m2 of new hardstand area in the airdry yard
  • Constructed three new staff amenity areas totalling 300m2

But our top highlight for 2023?

Launching our mass timber flooring solution – Advanced Timber Composite Floors.

ASH have undertaken extensive research and development to prepare ATC for market including acoustic performance, char tests, service penetrations, FRL and long-term serviceability.

 

None of this would have been possible without the ongoing support and loyalty from our wonderful customers and exceptional ASH team.

ASH have onboarded 30 new employees in 2023 resulting in a 17% increase to our workforce.

 

What's in store for 2024?

We’re excited to be launching exciting new initiatives in the New Year:

  • Launching Australia’s only 100% Australian-made, pre-finished engineered flooring.
  • Commissioning our new lean-manufacturing staircase component line.
  • Launching architectural joinery products in our new Plantation Oak range.

AND…

  • Installing our third mass timber CNC to significantly expand MASSLAM’s manufacturing capacity.
