How do you get wood from trees without losing forests? The answer lies in how well forests are managed, and at Juken New Zealand Ltd we manage ours to world-class sustainable standards – from land preparation, to harvesting, to replanting. These standards have been recognised by and are reflected in our FSC® and ISO certifications.

Our predominantly Radiata Pine forests are plantation grown with a particular tree quality and end-product in mind. We operate on a 30-year rotational cycle, but within this cycle we adjust tree stocking rates and silviculture regimes to ensure that we end up with wood that is true, that is stable, that looks good and that is well-suited to the innovative and high quality products that we make.

We carefully select and prepare the land and the seedlings to be planted, and we monitor and control diseases and pests. Our tree stocking adjustments include selective “thinning” to ensure managed and uniform growth of remaining trees, and our silvicultural practices include higher than normal “pruning” to achieve tree logs with a larger proportion of unblemished (clear) wood. Harvesting is undertaken with sensitivity to the environment and to natural features and habitats. And once trees are harvested the ground is prepared again in readiness for replanting, usually within 6 months.

Good policies and practices will only work when experienced, knowledgeable and committed people are “on the job”. We foster and encourage strong and enduring relationships with our staff and our contractors – people who are passionate about the forests they work in, about what they do, and about their importance in the supplier-to-customer product chain.

All of this means that a continual and sustainable supply of raw wood of the right grades is going into our Mills to be transformed into high quality products for our customers. And without touching our natural indigenous forest resources.

Welcome to Juken New Zealand Ltd (“JNL”). We are a New Zealand (“NZ”) based and registered company with a growing global outreach. We have been heavily involved with the NZ forestry and wood-processing industries for the past 25 years – manufacturing advanced and innovative wood products from selectively planted, managed and harvested Radiata Pine for local and export markets. In that time we have become important economic and cultural contributors to the local communities within which we operate.
We have sustainably managed and certified plantation forests in the Northland, East Coast and Wairarapa regions of NZ’s North Island. In those same locations, we have four modern, efficient and environmentally clean wood processing mills. We employ nearly 700 people and obtain goods and services from several hundred suppliers.

Research and development are important to us, and we also benefit from the technology and resources of our Japan-based parent company WoodOne Ltd- a major international housing materials and componentry company – which has invested over $NZ700 million into our Company and NZ.

All of which means that in an age where wood is becoming increasingly recognised and re-established as a product of choice for many structural and non-structural applications we can offer you high quality, fit-for-purpose products to meet your needs.

 

WHAT WE DO
We make a wide range of engineered wood Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), Panels and Solid Wood Products – for structural and non-structural purposes, for external or internal uses, and for appearance or non-appearance finishes.

All of it from trees that we plant, care for and harvest on a sustainable basis to ensure that you receive the very best products for your requirements. If we do not have the right trees we obtain them from other carefully selected sustainable sources. So we are closely involved and “hands-on” all the way through from the tree seed to the finished product. And in a way that is sensitive to the social needs and ecosystems within which we live, work and play.

Our forests are certified and managed according to internationally-recognised environmental standards – FSC®and ISO. They are immaculate. They provide the very best of raw materials to our wood processing mills which are also certified and managed according to international standards – including FSC®, ISO and EWPAA. Through innovative processes and skilled staff, our mills transform our harvested trees into high-quality products – products that are reliable and durable, that perform, and that can
be trusted.

Our range of products is wide and varied, but we are not limited to “off-the-shelf” solutions. If you cannot find what you are looking for in our current range then ask us about custom-made options to suit your exact needs. Such requests fit comfortably with our philosophy, and because we own the process from start to finish we will always try to meet your needs.

It is yet another reason why discerning customers who seek and demand the natural benefits of wood choose Juken New Zealand Ltd for top quality engineered and solid wood products.
