The Forest Industry Engineering Association (FIEA) runs a regular series of conferences, practical workshops and managed exhibitions. These are run principally in New Zealand and Australia every year with over 500 events run since 1998.

Leading forestry and wood product companies, key product and service suppliers to the industry, researchers and technology providers from throughout the world are involved. The focus is on profiling new and emerging technologies that can be readily adopted by local companies. The very latest innovations, research and operating practices best suited to the local wood resource and the size and maturity of the industry are selected.

FIEA technology events are independent. They have a CLEAR FOCUS – to improve YOUR operating efficiencies, profitability and international competitiveness.

2018 is another big year and full summary of the calendar can be viewed here. We are also accepting interest in speaking and sponsorship opportunities.

100’s of papers available to FIEA Members

This detailed and comprehensive resource has been set up specifically for FIEA members.

FIEA manages an extensive series of technology events each year for forest products companies. This page, Technology Updates, provides a selection of up to ten papers/presentations for each event (usually posted within two-three months after the event). These recent papers/presentations can ONLY be read and downloaded by FIEA members.

A couple of presentations have been included on the right to give you a preview of the type of content available to FIEA Members.

Membership details can be found on the Membership Page. For members who have forgotten their membership number, please contact our offices.

FIEA’s activities are assisted throughout the year through the generous support of FIEA Partners. Their sponsorship and support assists FIEA to bring a wide range of technology events to Australasian forestry and wood products companies each year. The targeted promotional benefits and opportunities for product and service promotion offered through annual sponsorship compared to individual event sponsorship are substantial.

For further information on longer term sponsorship and branding opportunities through FIEA’s range of technology events/resources, contact gordon.thomson@fiea.org.nz or contact one of our FIEA offices.

Forest Industry Engineering Association (FIEA) members are provided an extensive range of benefits.

The Forest Industry Engineering Association (FIEA), a division of Innovatek Ltd, has since 1998 been running an extensive series of technical programmes for forestry and wood products companies. Programmes are being run, over 500 at last count, for both New Zealand and Australian operations.

An independent forum for local companies is provided by FIEA to evaluate new technologies. Networking with other companies and leading local and international technology providers is also a significant benefit of these events.

Forestry and wood products companies, largely distant from most major technology providers, can through FIEA, evaluate a wide range of new and emerging technologies suited to their own operations. FIEA is well established as a leading provider of technology transfer services for forest products companies.
