The vision of Carter Holt Harvey Pulp and Paper is to be the leading supplier of kraft based linerboards to the Australasian region and a preferred supplier of radiata pulp to the growing Asia Pacific market.
The Pulp & Paper business is comprised of four mills in the North Island of New Zealand and two associated operational units, which work as a single integrated business. The four mills are Kinleith, Tasman, Whakatane, and Penrose, plus the operational units of Fullcircle and Lodestar.
- Kinleith Mill is located near Tokoroa in New Zealand's Central North Island Region.
Kinleith is our largest mill, producing bleached and unbleached softwood kraft pulp and a range of linerboards and medium used in packaging.
- Tasman Mill is located in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand near Kawerau. Here we manufacture a range of specialty pulp products used by manufacturers of high quality paper, tissue and building products.
- Whakatane Mill is also located in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand near the Whakatane township. Here we manufacture a range of coated cartonboards used to package FMCG products.

- Penrose Mill is located in Auckland, 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 packaging.
Total production of market pulp and linerboard is nearly 900,000 tonnes per year. Around 40% of this is sold to customers in New Zealand and Australia with the balance exported to Asia.
Our Tasman and Kinleith mills are two of the lowest cost pulp production facilities in the world, in terms of delivered costs to the Asian markets.
Yet we face a challenge to maintain a cost-competitive position, and achieve growth through differentiation.
