Mountain Timbers Pty Ltd, Kilsyth, VIC

Before the current owner took over, the business was well known in the local area as Shields Timber and Hardware. It was being operated as a new and second hand timber and hardware store. The current owner not only changed the name to Mountain Timbers, they also changed the sales focus to supplying timber and builders hardware direct to the building trade. With a staff of 5 back in 1994, the company has grown too, now employing up to 18 permanent and casual employees and contractors. All staff members have many years experience and knowledge in the timber industry. Many changes have taken place, from site improvements to changes in the products being supplied. Hardwood used to be kiln dried, machined and gang nailed on site, but the machinery has now been decommissioned and replaced with up to date systems to cater for new products. With big changes in the building industry to 'new age' primed and engineered products new racking and loading facilities to store these products have been installed. Mountain Timbers deliver anywhere with a range of vehicles from ute, small tip truck and up to our largest a 14 tonne crane truck. We pride ourselves on knowing our customers and their needs, combining excellence in service with today's modern technology.
