The Whakatāne Mill will close and just over 210 staff will be made redundant, most by the end of June.
Management at Whakatāne Mill Limited (WML) broke the news to staff today.
The company told media there was no buyer for the mill and no viable option was found during the consultation process, and the decision was reached with a heavy heart.
