MTO Forestry is committed to sustainable forestry for the health of the environment and the economy.
MTO Forestry owns 14 pine plantations between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. This represents a total area of 118 476 hectares and yields a harvest of some 480 000 cubic metres of timber per annum. MTO also owns three sawmills in Tsitsikamma, Wemmershoek and George.

The trees are harvested at an age of 30-40 years and are used to produce high quality saw logs and veneer logs for construction furniture, panelling, doors and laminates. Other products from our plantations and processing plants include poles for agriculture, electricity and telephone lines, and biomass for electricity generation.
