Northland Mill closure confirmed [NZ]Friday 26 Jun 2026
JNL has made an extensive effort to identify a buyer or alternative pathway that would allow the site to continue operating, but this has not resulted in a viable option at this time. Triboard isn’t impacted by the proposal, and the process to explore a potential sale of that site as a going concern is continuing. No final decisions have been made. We are committed to a thorough consultation process and are seeking feedback from employees and union representatives before determining next steps. We recognise the impact this will have on employees and their families and are providing access to support services throughout the process.

Marcus Coverdale, of Workers First Union, said Northland Mill staff were called to a meeting early this morning and told no buyer had been found for the business. Consultation on the closure will start on 8 July. Coverdale said there was no word on the fate of the town's Triboard Mill, which suggested that one had found a buyer and might stay open. About 60 people work at the Northland Mill while 140 are employed at the Triboard Mill. More >> Source: RNZ  | ||
