We are a diverse and highly skilled team, some of whom have been with the company since its beginnings, over 30 years ago. Diversity in our business and our people is one of the reasons for our success. With a virtual United Nations of employees – including Austrian, Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, Malaysian, Māori, Nepalese, South African and Canadian - we embrace our differences and learn from each other.
We are down to earth, flexible and open to change. We place a strong focus on communication and welcome everyone’s contribution. We adapt and progress to continually evolve and grow, introducing smart technologies and operational processes to keep us at the forefront of the forestry industry. Integrity is at the heart of everything we do. We always try to do the right thing and, we own our mistakes.
Our highly experienced leadership team is made up of industry veterans with specific areas of knowledge and expertise.
