Proudly Tasmanian Owned and Operated Since 1998
Stronach was established in 1998 by Michael and Jillene Brill, with a vision to create a timber processing centre and manufacturing outlet offering a range of timber products and services.
Recognising demand for specialist processing and locally manufactured products, Michael and Jillene developed a business that brought together timber processing, manufacturing, wholesale and retail activities. That vision remains at the heart of Stronach today.
Our Beginnings in Timber Processing
An important part of the original business plan was to provide further processing services for larger timber manufacturers that outsourced this work. This allowed Stronach to apply its skills and equipment to preparing timber for additional uses and turning it into finished products.
Alongside these processing services, the business developed its manufacturing operations, producing timber packaging and building materials for primary producers, manufacturers and retail outlets.
Our Connection with Timberlink
Our work with Timberlink reflects this founding focus on supporting larger timber manufacturers through specialist processing.
Stronach processes timber supplied by Timberlink, contributing local manufacturing expertise and production capacity to the timber supply chain. This relationship connects our Tasmanian family business with the broader timber industry and supports the continued use of timber in a range of finished products.
We also see opportunities to build on this work by finding ways to recover greater value from timber and develop additional products.
Timber Products for Industry and the Community
Over the years, Stronach has developed a range of products that includes pallets, bins, lattice and building materials.
Our pallets and bins serve the Tasmanian market and can also be used in international export trade where they meet the relevant requirements. Our lattice manufacturing includes standard profiles and sizes, with custom products available on request.
Across these activities, our focus remains on supplying quality products backed by practical knowledge and helpful service.
Growing Through Stronach Timber Sales
Our retail store, Stronach Timber Sales at 32 William Street, Scottsdale, brings our timber knowledge directly to the local community.
The store supplies timber, fencing and landscaping materials, alongside complementary products such as stock feed, garden supplies and LPG gas. From trade orders to weekend projects, our team helps customers organise the materials they need.
Making More of Our Timber
Our commitment to making better use of timber resources also led to HOT BLOCKS™, our proudly Tasmanian owned and made range of firewood alternatives and kindling.
By turning repurposed Tasmanian wood waste into useful fuel products, HOT BLOCKS™ builds on our manufacturing experience and gives timber material another purpose.

Timber Packaging for Local and Export Markets
Stronach manufactures timber pallets and bins for primary producers, manufacturers and businesses across Tasmania, with packaging options for goods destined for international markets.
As an accredited ISPM 15 provider, Stronach can supply compliant timber packaging for export applications. ISPM 15 is the international standard for treating and marking solid wood packaging material to help reduce the spread of timber pests between countries.
This accreditation supports our ability to provide timber packaging that meets applicable export requirements, giving customers confidence when preparing goods for overseas transport.
Speak with our team about your pallet, bin and export packaging requirements so we can help identify a suitable solution for your shipment and destination.
Continuing the Family Vision
From its beginnings in 1998, Stronach has continued to follow the vision of a versatile Tasmanian timber business—combining processing, manufacturing and retail service.
We’re proud of our family ownership, our North East Tasmanian roots and the relationships we continue to build with our customers, suppliers and industry partners.
