About
Kiwi Lumber is a privately owned New Zealand company operating four modern sawmills located in the North Island of New Zealand. The four mills located at Putaruru, Gisborne, Dannevirke, and Masterton have a combined production of 250,000 m3 of sawn timber output per annum.
Kiwi Lumber Gisborne required a large-scale processing and storage facility to support its growing production demands. The new structure needed to be seamlessly integrated with existing infrastructure, ensuring efficient workflow and optimal storage capacity.
The Attika Approach
Attika designed and delivered a custom-engineered facility that maximises Kiwi Lumber’s processing and storage efficiency. The 40.0m clearspan structure allows for large-scale timber handling, while the aligned bay system ensures compatibility with existing infrastructure.
By creating a high-capacity, optimised storage solution, the facility supports Kiwi Lumber’s domestic and export operations, enabling the company to meet increasing market demands.
Key Outcomes
- Increased storage and processing capacity with a large, clearspan layout.
- Seamless connection with existing buildings for operational efficiency.
- Designed to support high production volumes and future growth.
- Improved logistics and workflow through efficient space utilisation.
