The awards, held at a gala event at Mount Gambia on November 1, had about 500 guests and acknowledged excellence in the forestry industry.

MechLog commenced operations in Tasmania in 1994 and expanded to the Green Triangle area that borders Victoria and South Australia.

The region hosts Australia's largest timber processing and plantation operations with about 355,000 ha of hard and soft woods which are processed for both local and national markets.

MechLog Green Triangle manager Ben Rosenthal was awarded most outstanding contribution to the timber industry in the men's category.

The business was also awarded the safety excellence award.

MechLog chief executive Jillian Aylett Brown said to win two awards in the company's first appearance was a fantastic surprise.

"We entered to participate and to show support for the industry," Ms Brown said.

"Most of our team attended the awards, so we were so pleased they could see their hard work and commitment to MechLog recognised by the forestry industry.

"Ben [Rosenthal] is an outstanding member of the MechLog team and deserves his award. It is fitting recognition of Ben's contribution to the industry and commitment to his career.

"The whole MechLog team is proud of Ben's achievement."

Ms Brown added the business was proud to be a part of such a vibrant industry.
