Industrial Technology Timber Year 12 Industry Study Visit - BORG Industries (Oberon)

 

A few weeks ago, our Year 12 IT Timber students had an insightful visit to the BORG Industries Panel Products manufacturing plant out at Oberon. The students were able to witness first-hand the mass manufacturing of particle board and MDF products in a factory that operates 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. 

 

The plant consistently produces 1,500T of both Particleboard & 1,500T of MDF in an average 24hr cycle. 

 

The visit generated fantastic discussion around the topics of Sustainable Forestry, sustainable building products, Chain of Custody Certification, automation and much, much more.
