New Zealand’s biggest fans of mass timber, glulam and CLT, the team at Red Stag Timberlab have continued to add production capacity with their latest installations at their Rotorua factory.
Foundation work is now complete for New Zealand’s largest beam processor, with the installation of the third Rotorua based CNC about to start today. CNC 2 now up and running and CNC 1 working through an upgrade to move from two five axis heads to three. With this latest addition, Red Stag Timberlab has tripled their original CNC machining capacity. They now run eight five-axis CNC heads and boasting close to 400 kW of combined CNC power.
For the most advanced mass timber CNC capabilities in the country across three sites, and the only one stop shop for ECI/ESI and shop drawings services, CLT, GLT, LVL, frame & truss, and light timber panelisation manufacturing and supply, contact the Red Stag TimberLab team for your next mass timber project.
