Established in 1986, Nelson Pine Industries Ltd is one of the world’s largest single site producers of medium density fibreboard. GoldenEdge MDF is exported to markets around the world to meet the needs of kitchen and furniture manufacturers, joinery companies and builders.
175,000 hectares of sustainable radiata pine forests provide Nelson Pine Industries with the superior quality raw material needed to manufacture their product range. Sustainable radiata pine forests reach maturity in around 25 years compared with 200 years for tropical hard woods.
Nelson Pine Industries takes the environment seriously with production processes in place that minimise dust, water use, effluent and noise. About 70% of the energy used on site is generated by burning wood waste in high efficiency furnaces. The remainder is from electricity.
Since the mid 1980s Nelson Pine Industries has been leading the way in significantly reducing formaldehyde levels in GoldenEdge MDF.
