In Commissioning: Inotek Invests $3.5M into Equipment to Victoria’s Construction Rebound with Faster, Safer, Smarter Timber Solutions

As the Victorian construction sector begins to emerge from one of its most challenging periods, Inotek is stepping up to meet the moment. With signs of confidence returning to the market, we’re proud to announce the $3.5 million investment in next-generation automated roof truss equipment is now in commissioning stage.

This strategic move isn’t just about future-proofing our operations. It’s about giving builders across Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and beyond the reliability, speed, and quality they need right now as demand begins to grow again.

Leading the Way with Cutting-Edge Automation

Our new fully integrated manufacturing line features state-of-the-art equipment designed for precision, efficiency, and scalability:

• Ranger: Selects timber with robotic precision using a suction arm system.

• Blade Saw: Cuts timber accurately with minimal waste, supporting sustainability goals.

• Flow Max: Organises and delivers materials to assembly stations.

• Roof Tracker: Automatically sets the outer truss profile, streamlining the assembly process.

This technology means timber is untouched by human hands until final placement, and nail plates are pressed automatically, ensuring consistent, high-quality results every time.

What This Means for Builders Coming Out of the Downturn:

• Capacity that Scales with You

  We’ve doubled our roof truss production capacity—so whether you’re building a single home or a 50-unit development, we’re ready.

• Faster Lead Times

  Automation process that means shorter turnaround times, helping you hit timelines in a market where every day counts.

• Reliable Quality

  Fewer errors, fewer delays, and less rework. Our system ensures precision-built components from start to finish.

• Safer Workplaces

  Less manual handling means better safety for our team, and a more consistent output for you.

  
  

With commissioning nearly complete and full production just around the corner, it’s real, and it’s ready.

Inotek isn’t just investing in machines. We’re investing in the builders and developers who will lead Victoria’s construction comeback, offering the scale, speed, and support you need to take full advantage of the upswing.

From Melbourne’s inner suburbs to regional hubs like Shepparton and Gippsland, we’re here to help you build back better.
