In a world where many traditional sources of industrial wood have been depleted or are declining,
New Zealand is gaining international recognition as a supplier of a sustainable and expanding resource
of high quality wood.
New Zealand pine is, increasingly, the natural choice for buyers in Pacific Rim countries looking for
an alternative species offering versatility of application and quality performance.
Natural - New Zealand pine solidwood products are created by selective sawing and processing,
with low manufacturing energy inputs. The result is a natural wood product from a renewable resource.
Sustainable - The planted forests of New Zealand are expanding and maturing at a rate, which
provides an increasing volume of plantation pine for the future. Extensive new plantings are increasing
the overall yield and providing security of supply.
Advanced - A well-established process of generic improvement and advanced forest management
expertise produces a wood resource with superior yield and consistent characteristics.
Strong - The strength of New Zealand pine compares favourably with most traditional
construction lumber. Tailored cutting patterns ensure that the high-strength wood fibre near
the outside of the log is sawn for strength applications.
Adaptable - For appearance and interior applications, New Zealand pine is kiln dried to
produce stable and long-lasting products. Preservative treatment ensures longevity across an
impressive range of external applications.
Versatile - New Zealand pine is excellent for an impressive range of structural and appearance
applications - from clearwood components for the furniture industry to housing products and highly
engineered structures.
