About company
XLam’s vision is to be the leading provider of sustainable solutions for commercial and residential construction throughout New Zealand, Australia and beyond, focussing on the use of branded CLT and derivative products. XLam is the first manufacturer of cross laminated timber in the Southern Hemisphere. XLam was founded in 2010 when NZ brothers Robin and Ian Jack combined their knowledge of engineered wood products to set up the first cross laminated timber manufacturing plant in the Southern Hemisphere. Robin is the CEO of Jacks, NZ’s leading supplier of advance woodworking equipment, and Ian is the founder of an architecture practice which has designed some of NZ’s most recognised timber buildings. The first XLam manufacturing plant is located at Nelson, New Zealand. Nelson was selected for its large plantation timber resource, a work force experienced in timber processing, and a containerised shipping port with direct links to Australian ports.
