Our customers

Working together

We are proud of our long term relationships with our customers which are built on trust, reliability and respect.  Our logs are in high demand both domestically and internationally.

Winstone Pulp International (WPI) is not only our sister company, but a major customer.  Situated in Karioi (Central North Island) the wood processing operations produce a range of timber and pulp products derived from renewable plantations for New Zealand and overseas markets.

The pulp is high grade BCTMP used in high grade packaging and sold to China, India and Indonesia. Ernslaw One strives to provide all the wood fibre needed for these markets but on occasions we do buy in external wood to supplement our export shipments.

Our specialised export team is highly experienced in shipping and logistics ensuring our products are delivered where they’re needed, on time.

They are the closest sawmill to Blue Mountain Forest, and we continue to enjoy a close relationship meeting their demand.

East Coast Lumber
