More staff at CHH mills to go

Friday 30 Nov 2012

After last week’s announcement that Carter Holt Harvey will close its Lakeside Sawmill and Pine Mouldings facilities in Mt Gambier, SA on 14 December the company this week informed staff at two New Zealand operations, Rotorua and Tokoroa that around 70 jobs are to be cut by Christmas.

The proposals would see 18 positions cut at CHH’s Tokoroa plywood plant and the closure of its Rotorua Profiles plant at a cost of more than 50 jobs including contractors. The company has cited a fall in demand from export markets in Australia and a lack of new builds in New Zealand as the reason for the redundancies.
