Mitchpine has been supplying quality fencing products since 1975.
It’s seen its share of challenges in the last 50 years, tried new opportunities (including, in the late 90’s, shipping outdoor furniture to Japan) and made many changes to get the business to be where it is today.
Lee Mitchell, the third generation of Mitchell to lead the Mitchpine business, took over in 2019 and has prioritised keeping up with innovation within the industry.
“We try to stay up to date with what is happening overseas. We import technology to keep our plant and machinery efficient. By investing in technology, not only do we get better products and the ability to use the right part of the tree for the right product we are also reducing waste and creating a safer workplace.”
50 years in the industry has seen a lot of change. But that will not stop.
“The industry is constantly changing and we want to keep changing to meet demands to ensure wood is the first choice.”
“For the past few years’ a big project we have been working on is a new roundwood mill. We are excited to open this, this year. This will help us be much more efficient and keep up with demand.”
“We are proud to have been supplying quality wood for the past 50 years and look forward to being a trusted supplier for many more.” says Lee.
