Midlands based M&M Timber Ltd, the manufacturer of machined round timber products for agricultural fencing and landscaping industries, has introduced a new delivery system to help its customers reduce their stock holdings.

Renowned for its flexibility in the supply of machined timber, the company has offered a free just-in-time delivery service throughout the UK for some time now and is always happy to supply mixed loads of one-stop shop sizes.

“Many trade suppliers insist on customers and stockists taking a full load, which often results in having to accept other, less popular, products that end up as unwanted stock,” says Commercial Director Andy Hodge. “We have a reputation for giving customers what they want, not what we think they must have.”

Also in response to customer demand, M&M Timber has now adopted an innovative packaging system for its machined round and peeled timbers. Bundled and bound in an easily managed layer system, the stakes are securely square-packed for ease of storage and handling. The packaging method also reduces in-transit damage.

The agricultural and landscaping industries represent a large market sector of M&M Timber’s business, which extends into garden products and play area equipment.

All agricultural fencing and landscaping timbers are pressure treated for long life, making them suitable for most applications.

However, to help meet an increasing demand for its optional micronized treated timber products, M&M Timber has invested heavily in an advanced micronizing process, which raises the minimum service life of timber to 15 years.

Class 4 micronized treatment for ground contact applications is also beneficial to aquatic and terrestrial environments, since it virtually eliminates the release of copper particles.
