60 Years Strong

Beyond just Australian timber supply services…

For over 60 years, Ashborn Industries has been crafting more than pallets, bins, and crates — we’ve been crafting trust.

  • Australian-owned & operated

  • Certified sustainable sourcing

  • Long-term industry partnerships

Born in the Riverland in 1962, we grew from one man’s vision and a second-hand box machine into one of Australia’s most trusted timber packaging suppliers. Through fires, droughts, and industry change, we’ve rebuilt, innovated, and led the way — always putting people first and never compromising on quality.

Whether you’re shipping locally or globally, storing produce or protecting your product, you can count on Ashborn to deliver smarter, safer, and stronger timber solutions — fast.

Our Story

In 1958, Brian Ashton moved to the Riverland with a vision and determination. From humble beginnings making boxes for local growers, he built a business rooted in innovation and service.

When his son Michael took over in 1998, that spirit carried through fires, droughts, expansions, and rebrands — growing stronger at every challenge.

Today, Ashborn Industries stands as a united, family-built business driven by a dedicated team and future-focused leadership. From rebuilding after devastating fires to embracing digital tools, robotics, and lean manufacturing, our story is one of resilience, progress, and pride.
