Lonsdale New Zealand is scrupulous in its avoidance of illegally logged timbers. No material originating from Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil or the Cameroons, has ever been used. Moreover, as we demand from our timber suppliers documented assurances that timber is legally harvested, we have never sourced material shipped from countries such as Singapore, plus West African states.

All timbers are drawn either from naturally sustainable resources under the control of government agencies, such as our rimu, and mahogany substitute; damanu, or from plantations, in the case of American oak and New Zealand pine.

Medium density fibre board, a composite of wood waste fibrous chips in a formaldehyde based adhesive matrix is New Zealand made.
