Plywood Plant Opens From Bulolo Pine Forest Resources
The Bulolo forest spanning about 40 000 acres will feed a new plywood plant with a daily output of about 70 tons. The project creates 160 Australian skilled jobs and as many native positions, with workers from both communities collaborating alongside the Oregon-Wash National Guard unit. The venture marks a shift toward a peace time timber industry and aims to boost plywood production amid rising global competition.
