The Boral Timber division has links back to the 1890’s when Allen Taylor and Company was established by the late Sir Allen Taylor. The company carried out hardwood sawmilling operations on the New South Wales coast for many years. Today from its headquarters in Auburn, New South Wales, Boral Timber coordinates the activities of its extensive operations in NSW, Queensland and Victoria. Boral Timber has become one of the largest suppliers of hardwoods in Australia with a diverse product range encompassing flooring, paneling, decking, furniture timber, decorative plywood and structural timbers.
