FICA is sharing this Expression of Interest opportunity on behalf of Pan Pac
Expressions of Interest – Ground-based Logging
Pan Pac Forest Products Limited (Pan Pac) is a fully integrated forest products company based in Whirinaki, Hawkes Bay. Our integrated structure provides resilience and security in a dynamic market. Pan Pac has cutting rights to over 36,000 hectares of plantation forests at five main locations within 85km of Napier. Our annual harvest is just over 1,000,000 tonnes. As the largest production forest grower in the Hawkes Bay, we prioritise our partnerships, protection of the community and people we work with, and the environment we work in.
Due to the retirement of a long-term Pan Pac contractor, Expressions of Interest are sought from suitably experienced applicants to provide contract harvest services, of approximately 50,000 tonnes per annum, as a fully mechanised (fell, extract and process) ground-based operation. The existing contracted equipment is available for purchase as a going concern by the successful party, negotiated directly with the incumbent contractor.
Applicants will have demonstrated excellence in meeting NES – CF and HSWA requirements, a track record of innovation and safe production. Preference will be given to applicants who can convert this operation to a suitable hauler configuration within 12 months.
Expressions of Interest close March 30th, 2025. Tenders to close April 27th, 2025, contract awarded by May 25th, 2025, for commencement by agreement.
Please submit Expressions of Interest, including a summary of supporting information to: stephen.leadley@panpac.co.nz
More detailed information will be sought from successful applicants.
