Rayonier Matariki Forests grows and manages 120,000 hectares of plantation forests from the top of the North Island to the base of the South.
Rayonier first established itself in New Zealand in 1988, after the Government announced the privatization of the Forest Service. Backed by Rayonier Inc’s wealth of experience and highly skilled foresters, the New Zealand operation focused on sowing the seeds for a great future for the company and for the industry.
Matariki Forests was formed in 2005 through the acquisition of ex Carter Holt Harvey forests as well as the purchase of Rayonier’s forestry assets. Rayonier has continued to remain both an investor in and manager of the Matariki Forests joint venture. Now known as Rayonier Matariki Forests, we are committed to investing in our people, our technology, and our processes – so we can all benefit from and enjoy working in a company that will have a positive impact on our environment, our economy and our standard of living.
At AVA Timber, our joint venture partners Manulife and Rayonier Matariki Forests are some of New Zealand’s largest forest owners.
We form and maintain strong and enduring relationships with our global clients, maintaining a high degree of oversight, ethics and integrity.
