MZ3

MZ3 is a sustainability focussed mechatronic engineering company based in Perth Western Australia. Our original mission was to "Help to build a society based on wood". We believe we need to live more sustainably by using renewable materials such as timber and to reduce our use of finite resources which are drilled or mined. Therefore we help to dev... elop timber products, using sustainably managed timber resources. Since 2005 we have designed and supplied automated machinery for the timber fabrication industry to help timber compete more effectively with non sustainable materials. Amongst a wide range of automated machines we have developed automated computer controlled multi cut wood saws, picker placers, nail plate presses and timber strength testing machines. In 2008 in accordance with the first part of our vision, we developed a fastener free, glued only timber floor panel and a prefabricated stair system now sell these in kits for industrial mezzanine floors. In 2009 we acquired a Resorcinol glue manufacturing plant with formulas originally developed by the CSIRO for Australian timbers. We now manufacture for in-house use, Resorcinol resin adhesive. This is a long proven, high strength, waterproof, structural timber adhesive used for marine timbers (rudders, oars, yachts), high strength exposed structural timber glu-lam beams (pedestrian bridges), laminated posts, finger-jointed timber and of course our composite style timber and ply floor panels. Our mission the became to "Help to build a sustainable society based on wood". In 2010 we started helping a customer develop some new super lightweight metal building products. We then invented and built automated machines to make the products which we now supply for the customer on a piece rate contract. In 2015 we started to increase our involvement in the agricultural industry. We built a zig zag seed separator for the CSIRO and designed and built a precision air seeder under contract for Kimseed. We commenced development of a beehive automation system for a WA ...Read More
