Administrative history

The company was formed to take over businesses that were founded in 1829, and were initially merchants, indentors, importers and agents, becoming a major supplier of local and imported timbers for the building and furnishing industries. The company established merchant houses in Australia, the United Kingdom and Papua New Guinea. Formerly known as James Henty & Co, the company was incorporated in Melbourne on 5 February 1932. By 1977, the company was acquired by Parbury Henty Holdings Limited and operated as a subsidiary to the Holdings company until it was delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange in 1991.
