A big thank you to Responsible Wood for having members of the Vekta Automation team take part in their Perth field trip this week.

This whole day road trip started by taking in the wisdom of the Forest Products Commission, Western Australia team amongst Dwellingup’s certified pine plantations, followed by an incredible tour and lunch at Wesbeam‘s epic state-of-the-art LVL manufacturing facility. Finally, Murdoch University and University of Tasmania faculty introduced us to Boola Katitjin, Murdoch’s architectural and technological marvel that is at the global forefront of sustainable timber building practices.

It was a valuable experience seeing the benefits of responsible timber sourcing, the power of local manufacturing and the exciting future of eco-friendly construction and education.
