ITI Timspec take on distribution of Tunnicliffe timber

Tunnicliffe Timber and ITI Timspec are pleased to announce to the New Zealand market that they have entered into a distribution agreement which will see ITI Timspec become the sole distributor of the joinery range of products produced by Tunnicliffe Timber in New Zealand.

ITI Timspec is an innovative distributor of building and specialist timber products. The company is rapidly expanding its business and product range and has recently acquired large sites in Christchurch and Auckland to help facilitate this growth. The supply of joinery related products has been a strong product range within the company’s product portfolio and the opportunity to partner with Tunnicliffe Timber is exciting to the ITI Timspec team. “This is a fantastic step forward for us” said Chris Wiffen from ITI Timspec “We hope to add FJ/Lam Taun and Accoya to the list of species that the profiles will be offered in as soon as possible. This will provide our customers with the choice of 4 options for joinery profiles, Tan E, TMT, Accoya, and FJ/Lam Taun.” www.ititimspec.nz

The owners of Tunnicliffe Timber, Mark Andrew and Scott McCabe were fortunate to receive approval from the Provincial Growth Fund to upgrade all aspects of the business to increase production capacity and solidify its place as a world class industry leading timber manufacturer. Tunnicliffe Timber is a long-standing specialist manufacturer of joinery profiles and have reacted to the challenges the Covid-19 pandemic has caused in the industry by moving to create collaborative supply chain relationships to minimise these challenges.

The two companies have worked together to position ITI Timspec as the primary distribution partner for this venture, using their well-established logistics channels and routes to market. This will ensure customers better access to these specialised timber products. Products covered by this agreement will be stocked in Auckland, Carterton and Christchurch as well as Edgecumbe ensuring that the products will be readily available to customers.
