Investing for the future
A key part of our business model involves focusing on growth of our business and production in order to take advantage of the substantial global market opportunity we believe is achievable with our products.
Optimising production capacity
We have recently expanded our production capacity to meet demand, adding more capacity to our Arnhem site and launching our first joint venture partnership Accoya USA to serve the North American market.
Research and development (R&D)
We have developed innovative, proprietary and protected technologies.
We continue to invest in R&D, focused on optimising our existing product offering and technologies (applications and new wood species) and investing in focused technology solutions and processes. This ongoing development is designed to increase the use and improve the environmental and efficiency benefits of our products.
Working with business partners
Working with the right business partners helps us maximise our potential, enabling our growth to realise the substantial global market opportunity for our products.
We continue to advance our strategic priorities, in particular by working with partners which have resources or technologies that complement our own.
