Sutherland Timber Sawmill in Kaiapoi, North Canterbury
SUTHERLAND TIMBER; Family owned and operated Sutherland Timber has been 100 years in the business of milling timber. Initially established in 1920, as a sawmill in Southland, the operation found its way to Kaiapoi in the 1950s to be closer to the Lyttelton port and Christchurch city. In the mid-1980s Murray (Muz) and Anne (Annie) Sutherland took over management of the company, and have set a platform for the company to retain its core family values. In 2017 Murray Sutherland was humbled to be made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list for services to the timber industry and the community. Our processing plant includes a drying kiln, treatment plant and planer mill and process around 80 cubic metres of Radiata Pine and Douglas Fir each day. Radiata Pine accounts for about 70% and Douglas Fir about 30%, and roughly 25-30% of what we mill is exported. Sutherland Timber are proud to employ over 30 staff. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT SUTHERLAND TIMBER Family owned and operated Phone: 03 327 8843 Email: [email protected] Street Address 14 Stone Street, Kaiapoi 7630 Postal Address Sutherland Timber PO Box 150 Kaiapoi 7644
