The Cortex cladding system by PWP has just won the Sustainable Design and Innovation Award for the SBN Central and Southern Regional Awards. This award recognises both the company's overall commitment to sustainability and the innovative approach to life cycle thinking in product development. PWP beat off some strong competition in the finals (Formway Furniture & David Trubridge) to win the award and now progresses to the national finals.

PWP (Pacific Wood Products) is a vertically integrated forestry company, involved in the entire timber value chain. From growing, harvesting, processing, manufacturing. Locus Research has worked with PWP since 2006 to assist them in extending further into the value chain.

Tony Clifford (CEO) of PWP was on hand to accept the award and acknowledged the key role Locus Research played in providing a turnkey product development service.
