Our Heritage

Porta’s story began over a century ago with a family and a love for timber, forming the original Porta Mouldings business. From those early days, we have grown into a trusted name in the Australian building industry, weathering change, embracing innovation, and staying true to the values that have shaped us.

Today, our heritage enters a new chapter, with Porta Mouldings, Dongwha, and Australian Panels coming together under the strong ownership of the Borg Group, and an invigorated and redefined Porta. This now unifies our experiences and capabilities under one trusted brand.

While we’ve grown and evolved over the decades, we remain a family owned business at heart, grounded in the same values that started it all. Our heritage is more than history; it’s the foundation that guides how we work today and how we plan for the future.
