In Episode 6 of Shaped by Hundegger, we travel to Heyfield, Victoria to visit the MASSLAM facility at Australian Sustainable Hardwoods.
This behind-the-scenes tour includes a conversation with Director Vince Hurley, who shares how engineered timber, sustainability, and automation are shaping the future of construction in Australia.
Timber is more than a building material to ASH. It is a renewable resource that sits at the centre of a vertically integrated manufacturing process. From responsibly sourced hardwood to precision-engineered MASSLAM systems, this episode highlights how technology and sustainability work together.
We also take a closer look at the Hundegger machinery driving ASH forward, including:
• Hundegger Robot MAX
• Hundegger K2i Industry
• Hundegger Speed-Cut 3
These machines play a key role in delivering accuracy, efficiency, and scale, allowing ASH to meet growing demand for mass timber construction across Australia.
From regional Victoria to major projects nationwide, ASH and Hundegger demonstrate how advanced timber manufacturing is helping build a more sustainable future.
