Pride, innovation and team work New Zealand's exotic Radiata pine forests provide a quality of fibre uniquely suited to the production of Medium Density Fibreboard. Logs arrive on site from the forests and leave as a range of products tailored to market needs worldwide.
Logs arrive on site by truck to be processed at the chipmill.
Two rotary cranes and a 27 metre drum debarker handle more than 300 tonnes of logs per hour. Seventy percent of all energy required for production is generated on site. The dried fibres are formed into mats and processed through presses. The use of continuous press technology, pioneered by Nelson Pine Industries in the Southern Hemisphere has been a key factor in securing the high reputation and dominant market position of the GoldenEdge product. A further processing facility converts panels into moulded products used as an alternative to dressing grade timber in the building and furniture industry.
