Millstream Lumber was established at the same time to ensure timeliness and quality of supply to NZWM. Millstream lumber has grown alongside NZWM adding dry-mill facilities to the sawmill in 2004.
Harveywood, like Millstream exists to ensure quality and timeliness of the supply of lumber to NZWM. The ownership in Harveywood was acquired in 2001.
