SUSTAINABLE MASS TIMBER SOLUTIONS ENGINEERED BYWOODSPAN BACKED BY TARANAKIPINE. PROUDLY SUPPORTING NZ FORESTRY. Let’s talk. JOIN THE BUILDING REVOLUTION taranakipine.co.nz woodspan.co.nz Taranakipine has evolved during the past 40 years into a signi cant business producing and supplying a comprehensive range of nished timber products from renewable Radiata pine forests. The company draws the majority of its logs from the Taranaki and Whanganui regions. Chief executive Tom Boon says it works closely with local forest owners and forest management companies, which includes NZ Forestry, to ensure consistent log supply. NZ Forestry is one of Taranakipine’s largest log suppliers. Tom strongly encourages forest owners to have the mindset of supplying a local wood processing business that turns their logs into highquality engineered timber products. “By working collectively with forest management companies, we can have a good balance in supplying both Taranakipine and log exporters that provides the best value for all parties. Taranakipine makes an important contribution to the regional economy, including through employing 190 sta . It is also a signi cant exporter with 65% of its products going to Australia, the United States of America and Europe. The company’s products comprise a comprehensive range of structural nger-jointed and laminated timber products that include weatherboards, glue laminated posts and beams, to name a few. It also produces highquality clear boards and premium decking from pruned Radiata pine Taranakipine is constantly investing in new technology with an emphasis on maximising the value cut from each log, consequently increasing overall productivity and enabling greater capacity on site. “The latest investments we have made include a full upgrade to our automated scanning cutline and a new high-speed nger jointer arriving in 2024.” The company also incorporates Woodspan which was established in 2019. Woodspan produces Parallel Laminated Timber (PLT) panels and glulam-engineered beams for mass timber construction using the most advanced CNC processing technology to produce fully nished building components ready for direct installation. Installation of Woodspan PLT is signi cantly faster than more traditional construction methods. “For our customers, there are three key bene ts; reducing construction time at the building site due to signi - cantly lower install time, improved building component quality due to the accuracy of controlled o site manufacturing and lowering the carbon footprint of the building by using renewable Radiata pine engineered timber products.” “We are targeting this particular market because it’s on a growth curve, and part of our next 40-year future is for Woodspan to be a major part of that growth curve, but it all starts with quality logs.” Focused on maximising log value
