Show Notes

This episode focuses on the importance of choosing fit-for-purpose timbers when manufacturing our quality offsite engineered products.

Whilst we are focusing on frame & truss manufacturers, it is important to remember that everyone along the supply chain plays a critical role in ensuring that products or services are delivered to customers in a safe, ethical, and sustainable manner. 

Each person or organisation involved in the supply chain can impact the quality, safety, and environmental impact of the final product. Therefore, it is important for everyone to take responsibility for their actions and work together to achieve common goals.

Unfortunately, there are often too many breaks in the supply chain, which can result in an entire industry being impacted. One fall – affects us all and for this reason, we must ensure everyone within our supply chain is taking the necessary steps to guarantee we are only using fit for purpose timber.

Today, we are joined by three engineers from the nailplate companies to discuss further:

  • Tim Rossiter - MiTek, 
  • David Zhang – Multinail
  • Nick Cui - Pryda
