New Zealand pole & timber exports
Croft Poles & Timber has been manufacturing and supplying high-quality timber poles for over a century. While our roots are firmly in Northland, our products are used well beyond New Zealand, supporting infrastructure, utility, marine, and construction projects across offshore markets.
Structural timber and poles for export markets, supplied with the service and reliability that long-term partnerships are built on.
Working closely with project managers, procurement partners, distributors, and end users, Croft takes the stress out of supply chains through dependable delivery, export expertise, responsive communication, and practical problem-solving, every time.
In export supply chains, the details matter. Customers come back because we deliver what’s needed, when it’s needed, with the communication and reliability that keeps projects and reputations on track.
Relationship-first, solutions-focused, and committed to long-term value for our customers and the markets we serve.
