Nelson Pine Industries Ltd

Nelson Pine Industries Limited was established in 1984, as a manufacturing facility to add value to the Nelson region’s renewable resource of Pinus radiata plantation forests. 

The company has grown steadily over the years and now produces both GoldenEdge MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) and NelsonPine LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber). 

Production of MDF started in 1986, with a second line commissioned in 1991. The third line, commissioned in 1997, made Nelson Pine Industries one of the largest single site producers of MDF in the world. 

The state-of-the-art veneer and LVL plant, where veneers are laminated by hot pressing into a beam form, was commissioned in 2002 and continues to develop targeted products for new markets world wide.
