peter carter


Peter received a Bachelor of Forestry Science from the University of Canterbury in 1971, and in 1998 graduated with a Masters of Technology Management from the University of Waikato, Technology Management and Innovation Executive Programme.

With 36 years experience with Carter Holt Harvey, and one of its predecessor companies, Peter has a huge depth of understanding and experience in the development of technology relevant to forest industry needs. He has broad experience from a wide range of technology development projects along the forest growing and processed wood product value chain, and has applied his training and skills to deliver quality technology based outcomes.

His focus on research and development with subsequent commercialisation on acoustic technology resulted from recognition of the opportunity to capture greater value for the log producer, as well as addressing the specific needs of their customers. Peter's support over the past 10 years for programs developing innovative solutions demonstrates a commitment to seek new approaches to meet customer needs. The current Director HM200 and Director ST300 projects continue this commitment.
