Founded in 1952, the Tasman mill commenced production of newsprint and kraft pulp at its Bay of Plenty mill in Kawerau, New Zealand, in 1955. Annual paper production is 155 000 tonnes. The mill uses plantation radiata pine. The mill supplies all of New Zealand’s newsprint and telephone directory requirements and also provides around 30% of Australia’s newsprint needs. The balance of production is exported throughout Asia and the South Pacific. Source Norske Skog Tasman Kawerau. (n.d.). Retrieved February 3, 2015, from
