Our Company

The vision of Carter Holt Harvey Pulp and Paper is to be the leading supplier of kraft linerboard to the Australasian region and a preferred supplier of radiata pulp to the growing Asia Pacific market.

Pulp and Paper is comprised of three mills and two other associated business units, which are operated as a single integrated business. The three mills are Kinleith, Tasman, and Penrose plus the business units of Fullcircle and Lodestar.

 

Kinleith Mill is located near Tokoroa in New Zealand’s North Island.

Kinleith is our largest mill, producing bleached and unbleached softwood kraft pulp (used in the manufacture of bleached papers) and a range of linerboards and SC mediums used in packaging.

Tasman Mill is also located in the North Island of New Zealand near Kawerau. Here we manufacture a range of speciality pulp products used by manufacturers of high quality paper, tissue and building products.

Penrose Mill is located in Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand, close to a ready supply of waste paper from New Zealand’s largest population centre and to two of the country’s largest producers of corrugated cardboard.
