Situated in the town of Te Puke, Bay of Plenty and with a distribution centre in Kerepehi, Waikato, Purepine Mouldings Ltd and Pukepine Sawmills Ltd operate as complementary timber processing and wholesale businesses under the ownership of the Tanner family. The sawmill was established in 1968 and acquired by the Tanner family in 1998, while Purepine Mouldings, originally established as a mouldings factory in 1958, was purchased in 2003.

Together, the two companies complementing each other process and wholesale a wide range of timber products for the New Zealand and export market.

The sawmill processes sustainably grown plantation Radiata Pine logs sourced from forests across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato regions. Its capabilities include kiln drying, planning, resawing, and preservative treatment. The business produces structural-grade timber for New Zealand and Australian markets, as well as appearance-grade timber for domestic and export customers.

Purepine Mouldings remanufacturers and wholesales profiling a wide range of timber products including mouldings, fascia, and weatherboards. This includes SmartClad weatherboards, featuring a patented hidden fixing system. The site also operates a state-of-the-art paint machine for pre-priming timber products.

Both companies use technology to optimise recovery, improve efficiency, and minimise waste. Residual wood waste is reused as biofuel to heat the drying kilns, supporting efficient and responsible production.

As New Zealand family-owned and operated businesses, Purepine and Pukepine supply domestic customers and export to international markets, including the United States, Australia, Asia and Europe. Together, they offer reliable, sustainably sourced Radiata Pine products backed by integrated processing capability and long-standing sawmilling expertise.
