With a strong focus on customer service, quality and compliance, Carter Holt Harvey Building Supplies holds a position as a major supplier to all of the leading building material distribution companies in the Australasian industry.

All our products are manufactured from sustainable plantation radiata pine grown in accordance with recognised environmental standards including FSC, AFS and New Zealand’s Resource Management Act. We are strong supporters of environmentally sustainable forestry practices.

Investment in the business maintains our low cost position and allows development of new products and solutions for our customers. These include PortalSuite, R flor (Australia only) and FloorSuite.

Major research and development projects include the Strategic Timber Investment Corporation initiative to develop technologies that will encourage construction of multi-story wood-based structures.

We also support the development of industry wide initiatives through the Wood Processors Association in New Zealand and A3P in Australia. We provide funding and support for the NZ Wood and Wood Naturally campaigns that educate consumers about the environmental benefits of wood products.

We have a great group of people with significant experience in the industry and we provide a challenging and rewarding work environment. We have a strong emphasis on Health & Safety and environmental compliance.
