Hemp Composite Systems for Construction
AANNDD Pty Ltd is advancing practical hemp-based composite materials and regional fibre-processing pathways for future Australian construction and manufacturing.
MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT:
Materials for better building
AANNDD is exploring how hemp fibre can be used in building materials and other sustainable products.
The focus is on practical materials that can be tested, improved and developed for real-world use in construction and manufacturing.
Turning natural fibre into useful materials.
REGIONAL VALUE:
Creating regional value
This work is designed to create opportunities for growers, local suppliers, trades, transport businesses, manufacturers, researchers and regional communities.
Where possible, AANNDD wants more of the value created from industrial hemp to stay in South Australia.
Built around South Australian capability.
CURRENT PROGRESS:
Building the evidence.
AANNDD is carrying out cultivation work at McLaren Flat to build practical knowledge about growing industrial hemp in South Australian conditions.
This work will inform future growing plans, improve decision-making, and give growers, partners, and investors a stronger evidence base.
Learning from local growing conditions.
REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE:
Processing closer to home.
AANNDD is looking at ways to process hemp closer to where it is grown.
Keeping more processing in regional South Australia could reduce transport, support local businesses and make it easier to develop products from locally grown hemp.
Exploring local hemp-processing options.
DEVELOPMENT PATHWAY:
Start small, learn, then grow
AANNDD is taking a step-by-step approach: test what works, learn from each stage and expand only when the evidence supports it.
This helps manage risk before investing in larger facilities, equipment and manufacturing capacity.
A practical pathway towards scale.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
From raw crop to higher-value materials.
AANNDD is developing hemp-based materials for construction and sustainable manufacturing.
We aim to help turn South Australian-grown industrial hemp into useful products by connecting growing, fibre handling, material development and local manufacturing.
From South Australian-grown hemp to sustainable materials.
Why AANNDD, why now
AANNDD is building a practical pathway from industrial hemp cultivation to higher-value materials, regional processing and sustainable manufacturing.
The Investment Case:
A connected regional hub model:
A regional model for shared value
The long-term vision connects growers, local hemp processing, useful products and regional skills. Each part is designed to help keep more value, capability and opportunity in South Australia.
Skills and local opportunity
A strong regional industry needs more than land and equipment. It needs skilled workers, local suppliers, reliable transport, practical training and new business opportunities.
AANNDD’s long-term aim is to build these capabilities alongside the hemp materials industry.
Supporting people, skills and local business.
Supporting growers:
The long-term vision is to give industrial hemp growers more ways to benefit from the value created after harvest.
Instead of growing a crop that leaves the region for processing, growers could be connected to local fibre handling and future manufacturing opportunities.
More value staying closer to farms.
Useful products, made locally:
Hemp can be used in a range of products, including building materials, composite products and other lower-impact manufacturing applications.
AANNDD is focused on finding uses that are practical, commercially viable and suited to Australian conditions.
Exploring the best uses for local hemp
From hemp stalk to usable fibre:
After harvest, hemp stalks need to be separated into useful materials, including fibre and hurd, the woody part at the centre of the plant.
AANNDD is exploring the equipment and processes needed to prepare these materials for building products and other uses.
Preparing hemp for practical uses.
BUILT FOR RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT:
Growth built on evidence
AANNDD is taking a staged approach to development. We are focused on testing, learning and building the evidence needed before moving to larger-scale investment.
Investment linked to progress
Future investment will be directed towards clear stages of development, such as testing materials, preparing sites, choosing equipment, building supply relationships and engaging future customers.
This staged approach helps ensure capital is used carefully and supports the work needed for the next stage of growth.
Capital directed towards clear milestones
Prove it before scaling
Before moving to a larger scale, AANNDD is focused on the evidence that matters: growing results, materials testing, early prototypes, processing options, suitable sites and market interest.
This gives investors and partners a clearer picture of what is working and what needs improvement.
Progress measured through real-world evidence
