Pedersen Group

The Pedersen Group name has been synonymous with forestry processing solutions for nearly 40 years. Ten years after the company was established to produce roundwood for New Zealand Forest Products, the business expanded to include chip mills, supplying high quality wood chip to New Zealand's major pulp and paper companies. The Pedersen Group business strategy was simple; streamline the chip process and deliver a better product more economically. Over the next twenty years, Pedersen Group's ability to refine and improve the recovery process gave our clients precisely the desired results. Our operations became significantly more cost-effective and efficient. During that period, Pedersen Group also became the only company in the world to successfully implement and run in-line to pulp mills. Through this success, the company earned the reputation of being the one to turn to if you needed an innovative capital solution. That's precisely what happened as some of the Southern Hemisphere's largest pulp mills engaged Pedersen Group to deliver export debarking and chip solutions. Pedersen Group employs more than 170 people in two countries and handles over 8 million tonnes of fibre annually for major global forestry organisations.

Logrithm

There’s untapped potential in the Forestry Industry and its supply chain that can be harnessed through better use of digital technology. Legacy technology platforms and widespread point solutions have prevented true digital collaboration in the supply chain. In its place, a culture of inefficient manual processes and painful end of month reconciliations between organisations has been allowed to develop. Logrithm exists to unlock the value that’s tied up in these inefficient systems and processes, so it can be leveraged to drive innovation and growth in the Forestry industry.
