Marusumi Whangarei Company Limited

Marusumi Whangarei Co., Ltd. (MWC) was established in New Zealand in July 1995 as a joint venture with Marubeni Corporation with the goal of ensuring a steady supply of woodchips from conifer trees which are used as material for making paper.

Around 300,000 tons of woodchips are manufactured and collected annually and all of it is exported to Japan. We manufacture our woodchips using replanted trees, forest scraps, and construction waste material. We are taking steps to expand the use of wood materials approved by international certification bodies, and have acquired the FSC® CoC certification.
