CMTP Branxholm is our Tasmanian sawmill and pallet manufacturing site, in the heart of the state’s timber country in the north-east. Logs from the region’s forests are milled here and built into timber pallets, crates, cases and produce bins on the same site, so the whole job happens in one place, from log to finished product. That matters more in Tasmania than anywhere else, because packaging from a mainland supplier has to cross Bass Strait, and growers and businesses pay for that freight leg in both cost and lead time. Standard orders from Branxholm are milled and built locally, with none of that added cost or wait.
Branxholm builds timber pallets from timber milled on site, from standard runs through to custom sizes. Because the timber never leaves the site between the saw and the build, the team has control over quality at the point where most pallet problems start.

Our Branxholm timber cases are milled and built on one site from Tasmanian logs, made to suit your load. Locally made, start to finish, with no Bass Strait freight to wait on.

From our mill to your orchard. Branxholm produce bins are made from Tasmanian timber, built tough for picking, stacking and storage, and delivered without a Bass Strait crossing.

The mill processes Tasmanian timber for our own manufacturing and for supply into CMTP's other operations. The north-east has grown quality timber for generations, and milling it here rather than shipping logs off the island keeps cost and lead time sensible.
Services
Custom and engineered builds at Branxholm are designed with CMTP’s 3D CAD team at our Colac head office, then milled and built here in Tasmania.
Design & EngineeringBranxholm is a small town in the Dorset Council area, on the Ringarooma River in Tasmania’s north-east, around 90km from Launceston along the Tasman Highway. The town has been built around the local sawmill and timber industry for generations, with agriculture and food production filling out the rest of the economy. Timber remains one of the core sectors in north-east Tasmania, and the Blue Derby mountain bike trails in neighbouring Derby have made tourism a growing part of the local economy since they opened in 2015.

Dale Jessup
General Manager Tasmania.
Dale has worked in the timber industry for 35 years, the last 10 at CMTP, and oversees both Tasmanian sites. He works directly with customers on anything custom or out of the ordinary, from timber specification through to finished builds for the north-east Tasmanian market.
We supply north-east Tasmania and the broader Tasmanian market, with freight to the mainland via Bass Strait.
3-4 days is a typical lead time for standard CMTP products, with custom builds typically taking longer due to the nature of the custom build process.

The Branxholm team understands that things don’t always go to plan and is adaptable to your needs, so give the team a call if you’re working to a tight timeframe.
North-east Tasmania runs on timber, farming and food production. The Branxholm team supplies growers who need produce bins through the harvest, farmers and food producers who need pallets moving product off the island, and manufacturers across the state who need crates and cases built to the job.

A crate is an open slatted timber container, a case is fully enclosed. Crates are lighter and cheaper for robust goods. Cases give more protection for anything fragile, dust or moisture sensitive, or high value. The Branxholm team will tell you which one suits the job.
Yes. CMTP runs a 3D CAD design capability at the Colac head office, so Branxholm customers can have a pallet, case or crate engineered around the product rather than forcing the product onto a standard footprint.
Product dimensions and weight, how it’s handled (forklift, pallet jack, crane), how it’s transported and where it’s going, and the volume you need. The more of that you have up front, the faster the Branxholm team can come back with a spec and a price.
