Niki PE Timber

Nik Bohlman is a highly experienced timber industry entrepreneur and production specialist with over 35 years in sawmilling, timber processing, and supply chain leadership, based in Auckland, New Zealand. With deep-rooted North Shore connections, he combines technical knowledge of wood products with sharp business acumen.

Nik has built and scaled multiple timber operations from raw log breakdown to finished structural and specialty products. His journey began on the mill floor in the late 1980s in South Africa's Mpumalanga region. Since moving to New Zealand in the early 2000s, he rose to manage large-scale production facilities before launching his own ventures.

He is known for turning challenging logs into high-grade, consistent timber and optimizing kiln drying and treatment processes. Nik believes that quality starts at the log and ends with the customer's smile—focusing on sustainable sourcing, zero waste, and timber that performs in New Zealand's tough coastal conditions.

Nik once described his passion by saying, "timber is 'life' without limits." He remains the go-to timber specialist for anyone requiring reliable, top-grade wood backed by decades of real-world mill experience.
