Advanced Timber Concepts Research Centre

FPC, along with members of the Furniture Industry Association of Australia (FIAA) and the Department of Industry and Resources (DoIR), is involved in the Advanced Timber Concepts (ATC) Research Centre based at the University of Western Australia.

With funding from the Native Timber Industry Support Scheme administered by DoIR, the ATCRC brings together professional architects, furniture manufacturers, wood technologists and marketing professionals to create designer furniture pieces for export market development and import replacement.

A prototype launch is planned for May 2003 , followed by exhibitions at the Furntex Show in Melbourne during July 2003 and at the Cologne Fair in January 2004.
