Lignor was born from a grand vision.

To produce a sustainable engineered wood product that would help to do more from less. It would do this by adding value to Australia’s wood chip export industry and reducing the need for it to import more highly manufactured timber products. 

It would cover the full portfolio of engineered wood products from post and beam to panel and rival conventional cross laminated timber, with less impact on the environment and with superior strength and versatility. 

It started with two determined men who worked tirelessly to achieve the seemingly impossible. Producing quality stranded timber from Australia’s abundant and underused Eucalyptus. 

Inspired by their discovery, they developed a patented CLST® which can be made from soft or hardwoods and quietly outperforms its competitors. 

Lignor’s portfolio of engineered wood products has grown, and each is designed with a single purpose. To build a better future for everyone.
