New Zealand Panels Group
NZ Panels Group began as a manufacturer of melamine and veneer panels. We have since expanded our product range to include acrylic and HPL decorative panels, thermoformed and edged cabinetry doors, particleboard flooring, engineered stone and high-pressure laminate for benchtops, edge tape and other third-party joinery products. Today we operate production sites in the North and South Island.
NZ Panels Group operates as a single integrated group but markets and sells through a portfolio of established product brands including Prime Panels, Bestwood, Dezignatek and Kopine. It also owns two joinery distribution brands Impey’s and Anthony Shearer and has a 40% stake in Zealand Distribution.
With a strong focus on sustainability, the company has a full time Sustainability Manager and is working across multiple areas of the business to reduce energy consumption and waste, increase recycling and create a pathway to becoming carbon neutral. The company’s main site in East Tamaki operates from two Greenstar 4 star rated buildings and its decorative panel products carry Environmental Choice NZ accreditation.
