The mill is now the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, milling over 1 million tonnes of logs annually and producing in excess of 600,000m³ of timber. It can process a log every five seconds at maximum pace.

Red Stag Timber – Stacker Building

Waipa State Mill Road, Rotorua | Constructed

The stacker building automatically stacks timber, 80% of which is filleted to be kiln-dried. Notably, this is the first building that used columns and beams ripped from CLT panels.

Red Stag Timber – Trimline Building

Waipa State Mill Road, Rotorua | Under Construction

The trimline and bins are the back end of the sawmill. This is the second building to leverage CLT columns and beams as this is a cost-effective construction technique. Using CLT in place of LVL and Glulam brings capacity to the NZ mass timber market.
