Efficient Glulam Production

Prolam is implementing continuous improvements to our production plant to drive it to the most efficient glulam production facility in New Zealand.
Recently Prolam installed a new state of the art Optimiser cross cut saw and have also launched our own mill.
This is a great step forward in our production capabilities; being faster, having more precised cutting and for overall efficiency gains, enabling Prolam glulam as the industry leading structural timber product.

Choose responsibly

In New Zealand, the construction industry is responsible for about 17.9% of greenhouse gas emissions (Source stats.govt.nz 2018).
To help reduce these emissions, we can choose timber as the preferred building material.
Beautiful, versatile and cost-effective, Prolam glulam is FSC certified and perfect for private, commercial and bigger scale industrial building projects. With superior thermal, acoustic and load-bearing properties, it is the perfect companion for your project that is safe for you and the environment.
