The Pine Manufacturers |
|
|
The New Zealand Pine Manufacturers Association Inc., more commonly known as
the Pine Manufacturers, was incorporated in 1991 to promote New Zealand's ability
to meet international demand for solidwood value-added products for the benefit
of member companies and the economy as a whole.
The Pine Manufacturers is an association comprising small to medium size and
corporate businesses engaged in the manufacturer of solidwood items such as
furniture and components (including
solid and laminated squares, edge glue panels, turnery, bent wood and DIY products),
interior fittings and fixtures (mouldings,
flooring, panelling, shelving, window, door and stair components), structural
products (laminated beams and posts) and
exterior products (fascia, door jambs, hand rails, balustrades, weatherboards,
outdoor furniture and roundwood products).
