Definition
This class consists of units mainly engaged in manufacturing plywood, veneers, particle boards, chip boards, other fabricated boards of wood, or laminations of timber and non-timber materials (including decorative plastic laminates on boards or other substrates). The Australian Plywood, Veneer and Fabricated Wood Manufacturing industry purchases raw material hardwood and softwood from sawmills and timber resawing/dressing processors and transforms it into plywood, veneer, particle board and chip board products. These are sold to housing and commercial construction companies and contractors, wooden structural component manufacturers, furniture makers, distributors and export markets.
