Tenaru Timber & Finishes Pty Ltd has its origins at Tenaru in the Solomon Islands early in the 1950s. Thereafter, the company developed an extensive timber importing business.
Because of Tenaru’s long established affinity with a large range of timber species, the Sikkens Organisation (now part of the Akzo Nobel Group) appointed the company to market its range of timber finishes in Australasia in 1974.
