YOU might be pleased to know that most building materials used in Australian construction are made right here in Australia.
Dahlsens, one of Australia’s largest truss and frame manufacturers and building material suppliers, is committed to supporting Australian manufacturing, and local jobs, through its network of largely regional locations across Victoria and New South Wales – including its prefabricated manufacturing plant in Shepparton.
As a business, Dahlsens has deep roots in regional communities with its own story starting over 140 years ago in Bairnsdale, East Gippsland.
Now fifth generation family owned, Dahlsens remains focused on supporting the communities in which it operates – with the family continually reinvesting in the business each year to ensure jobs remain local.
Dahlsens Shepparton has operated since 2006 after taking the reins from former long-standing business SpanTruss. The Drummond Road plant, managed by Ben Bushby (pictured) has a team of 40 plus hardworking team members who work shifts every weekday from 6am to 11pm, manufacturing prefabricated wall frames, roof trusses and floor joists.
Their innovative framing solutions are trusted by builders across the region, enabling an efficient build time and speeding up the all-important lock up phase in the home building process.
Truss and frame from Dahlsens are made from largely Australian grown and locally processed timber.
When it’s made and supplied locally, you’re supporting local economy and employment, and reducing the strains of such global shipping challenges as those we’re encountering mid-pandemic.
Along with prefabricated framing, Dahlsens supplies the Shepparton region with whole of house building solutions from its Echuca trade store.
The bulk of these building materials are also Australian made, and available for delivery direct to building sites.
