WHAT WE DO

Ta Ann was first established in Tasmania in 2005 to make better use of previously woodchipped eucalypt regrowth log billets by peeling them to create a high value veneer for domestic and international markets.

Originally, the company invested more than over $79 million to develop two veneer mills – a Huon mill built in 2007 and a Smithton mill in 2008.

Subsequent changes to wood supply and market conditions led Ta Ann to change direction in 2015 to commission a new plywood manufacturing plant at Smithton with an installed capacity of 24,000 m³/year.

We now operate a rotary peel veneer mill and a plywood manufacturing plant side-by-side at Smithton.

When at full production the plywood plant will inject about $20 million a year into the local economy. The mill currently provides jobs for 40 people – about half of whom were previously unemployed. Employment numbers are expected to increase to around 70 when the mill reaches full production.

Ta Ann continues to invest in research and development of new products. Future growth in veneer and plywood production will come from private forests and plantation log supplies.

On behalf of the Hobart Women’s Shelter, I would like to thank Ta Ann for their generous contribution to our recent project. With their donation of high-quality plywood, we have successfully completed the construction of our first two homes, which are designed according to the Trauma-Informed Design Principles laid out by Sam Donnely at the University of Technology.

This significant contribution not only helped in materialising the architectural vision but also ensured that these spaces are safe, welcoming, and healing for the women and children. The warmth and natural beauty of the wood contribute significantly to the serene and supportive environment we aim to create, making a real difference in the lives of women who will call these houses their home.

Their involvement exemplifies true community spirit and sets a worthy example for corporate responsibility.

Thank you, Ta Ann, from all of us at the Hobart Women’s Shelter, and more importantly, from those who benefit the most – the women and their children who find refuge and a new beginning within these walls.
