Timber Touches Our Lives in Innumerable Ways

Items made out of wood touch our lives in more ways than we can imagine. Thousands of consumer products are directly made from wood. Some of these are obvious, like building materials, furniture and paper. Some are not so, like tyres, glass frames and photographic film. Timber, being a natural product, can be used with minimum processing. It is essentially a renewable and recyclable resource. Because of its natural origins, most types of wood are fairly durable. Timber has a high strength-to-weight ratio that allows for efficient transportation.

Our Introduction

Arbor Resources Ltd. (Arbor) is an eminent trader and exporter of Radiata Pine Wood/Timber. Radiata pine is a softwood tree, which means the wood does not have pores and has long fibres (tracheids) compared to hardwoods. However radiata pine is harder (denser) than many hardwoods such as balsas and poplars. It is particularly useful as it can be readily sawn, peeled, or converted to pulp, has good nail-holding power, works well, can be easily stained, and when treated with preservatives, is suitable for long-life applications in the ground.

We are also a distinguished manufacturer and exporter of Standard and High Tensile Steel Strapping, Plastic Protection Corners and Z-Lock Strapping Tools and Steel Racking Systems. We are an affiliated member of the prestigious New Zealand Pine Exporting Companies (NZPEC).
