Kopine is owned by New Zealand Panels Group and has been making high quality particleboard flooring at its Kopu site since 1990.

Our Kopine flooring provides 2 points for Homestar projects and 3 points for Greenstar projects.

The raw material for our particleboard is untreated radiata pine  – most of the chipped fibre is produced at our own Kopu site from upper parts of trees that would generally be discarded.

Kopine is consistently looking for ways to improve manufacturing practices with a view to decreasing its environmental impact. A large portion of the energy consumed during the manufacturing of particleboard is generated by burning the dust created during the sanding process.

Our particleboard is low VOC with a formaldehyde level rated as E1.   Kopine also makes the 16mm and 18mm particleboard used as a substrate for both Bestwood and Prime Melamine panels.
