WE WELCOME THE SUPPORT OF CORE
Once again, CORE added its support to Round Four at Taupo; a company headed by a familiar face - Daniel Ludlam. When he’s not flinging his Holden Ute around racing circuits, he’s hard at work managing CORE – a fully integrated bulk building material supply company with New Zealand manufacturing for Timber Products and Custom Timber Processing Services with operations in Papakura & Putaruru. And CORE is active in so many areas.
Sourcing timber from sustainable forests, Core Lumber produces Radiata Pine Timber and Douglas Fir Lumber, supported by CORE Timber Services where timber is Dried, Machined and Treated, and exported to customers far beyond our shores by the team at CORE supply. CORE Supply combines their NZ Timber Products with Cement, Fibre Cement Board, Steel and Gypsum Board to service their clients’ CORE building material requirements.
With over 20+ Years in operation, check them out at: https://www.wearecore.co.nz/ We're pleased that Daniel and Team CORE had a successful weekend of racing.
