When Supply Matters, Choose Australian

Across Australia’s frame and truss industry, reliable supply is essential. Manufacturers need structural timber they can trust, backed by consistent quality, dependable availability and local support.
At Porta, Australian manufacturing plays an important role in delivering that confidence. Located in the Snowy Monaro region of New South Wales, our Bombala facility transforms sustainably sourced Radiata Pine into STRUCTAframe, Porta’s range of MGP10 structural pine.
The facility brings together local manufacturing capability, timber expertise and a commitment to long-term performance. The result is structural timber engineered to meet Australian Standards and support the needs of frame and truss manufacturers, builders and construction professionals across the country.
Structural timber built for the job
STRUCTAframe is structurally graded MGP10 pine, manufactured to deliver strength and stability across residential and commercial construction.
The range includes untreated MGP10 structural pine, MGP10 H2 for protected internal framing and MGP10 H3 LOSP for above-ground outdoor applications.
Across the range, the focus is straightforward: structurally graded timber, reliable performance and strength you can rely on.
Local manufacturing, dependable supply
Choosing Australian-made structural timber is about more than where a product is manufactured. It helps strengthen Australia’s construction industry and supports the local capability needed to meet its changing demands.
Local manufacturing provides greater visibility and confidence across the supply chain. It helps frame and truss manufacturers plan production, manage lead times and keep projects moving. It also provides access to local knowledge and support from a business that understands Australian Standards, construction methods and building conditions.
For the frame and truss sector, where consistency, quality and availability are critical, that capability matters. By continuing to invest in Australian manufacturing, Porta is helping strengthen the broader Australian economy, support regional employment and build the local capability needed for a more resilient construction industry.

When supply matters, choose Australian.
Supporting regional jobs and capability
The value of Australian manufacturing extends well beyond the products leaving the facility.
As one of the Snowy Monaro region’s largest employers, Porta’s Bombala facility provides long-term employment and opportunities for local people. The site supports families, suppliers, transport providers and other regional businesses, creating an economic contribution that flows through the wider community.
Regional manufacturing also helps retain important skills and industry knowledge within Australia. It creates opportunities for people to build lasting careers close to home, while strengthening the manufacturing capability that supports Australia’s construction sector.

Every piece of locally manufactured structural timber contributes to this broader network. Choosing Australian-made products helps sustain regional jobs, strengthen communities and support the future of local manufacturing.
Responsibly sourced and made to perform
Timber is a renewable and versatile building material, and responsible sourcing is central to its future. At Bombala, sustainably sourced Radiata Pine is transformed into structural timber made for dependable, long-term performance.
From responsible timber sourcing and local manufacturing to consistent structural performance, STRUCTAframe reflects Porta’s commitment to supporting the Australian frame and truss industry.
Proudly Australian made. Locally manufactured. Built for the job.
