Our History
1906 marked the genesis of our journey with the extraction of the first limestone block from what would become the iconic Parkside Quarry. The legacy continued through what was known as Taylor’s Limeworks in the early 1930s, evolving into today’s Parkside Limeworks under Parkside Quarries Ltd.
In 1991, after 17 years of quarrying limestone solely for the building industry, the purchase of the limeworks by Parkside Quarries Ltd was a major diversification for the business which expanded our horizons, fortifying our commitment to quality, innovation, and tradition.
We take pride in offering lime products that are as pure as they are efficacious. Harvested from the heart of our family-owned Parkside Quarry, our limestone stands out for its unmatched purity, making it one of New Zealand’s most prized natural resources. Each product in our diverse range carries the essence of quality, a trademark of Parkside Limeworks.
Parkside Limeworks lime products are made using pure, 100% natural limestone from our family-owned quarry: Parkside Quarry in Ōamaru, North Otago, which has one of New Zealand’s purest limestone deposits.
