Since its founding in 1984, the group has remained firmly rooted in its legacy of sustainable timber resource management, while robustly branching out into new areas of research and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Japan\u2019s Sumitomo Forestry Co., the N.Z. brand is an evergreen example of collaboration between the two nations toward more versatile, eco-friendlier wood products, in line with the global initiative to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCarbon neutrality by 2050 is a prominent discussion for both Japan and New Zealand; there is a big push for certain industries, with sustainability at the forefront,\u201d shared Kai Kruse, CEO of Nelson Pine Industries. \u201cForests and timber products are a carbon sink; timber products likewise come with tremendous advantages as building and construction materials all sequester carbon over many decades while in use as furniture, doors or in the structure of a house,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core, the forestry industry exemplifies the concept of carbon neutrality. But there are inherent challenges to the use of wood in construction \u2014 mainly in the natural variances in performance, strength and fire ratings. This is where technology comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The industry is no longer just the traditional archetype of \u201clumberjacks and muscles,\u201d but one of high-tech advancements that allow us to engineer wood to the desired strength for the structure.<\/p>Kai Kruse<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of Nelson Pine Industries<\/mark><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe industry is no longer just the traditional archetype of \u201clumberjacks and muscles,\u201d but one of high-tech advancements that allow us to engineer wood to the desired strength for the structure,\u201d Kruse said, noting that technology has enabled them to build structures of three and five stories, whereas they could previously only go as high as two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, we are working on projects of up to eight stories. Soon, we\u2019ll have 10-, even 20-story buildings out of wood. Perhaps not 100%, but with big timber structural elements,\u201d Kruse explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elements of this technology have been developed in conjunction with longtime associates Sumitomo Forestry, a partnership that has proven fruitful not only in the arenas of market share and marketing, but also in the most vital aspects of product research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSumitomo Forestry has its state-of-the-art Tsukuba Research Institute; they help develop construction systems for high-rise buildings, using our products,\u201d Kruse shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe key for us is to continue to participate and spearhead the growth of using engineered wood products for the construction industry and to address issues that would otherwise be stumbling blocks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
