It also has a research centre called North Eucalypt Technologies. North Forest Products is believed to be unique in the world in being the only purely forestry company to have a fibre technology laboratory directly linked to its tree breeding program. This enables the simulation of wood processing in the development of superior strains of trees. The centre employs a team of scientists and technical assistants who are finding ways to further improve breeding characteristics of trees such as the quantity and quality of fibre. These scientists have developed lines of southern bluegums that have superior growth as well as improved quantity and quality of the fibre.
Research methods used include cloning and genetic enhancement.
The research centre also plays a significant role in maintaining the environment. Environmental sustainability is pursued through research conducted at the centre that focuses on soil and site management, stand and vegetation management, and health. This enables North's tree farms to have maximum growth potential with minimum impact on the environment.
