Growing Sustainable Value Across the Cape
The origin and essence of the MTO Group is forestry and manufacturing, with additional business activities in Biomass, Agriculture and Ecotourism.
Our internationally accredited pine and eucalyptus plantations are the foundation of our product range — sustainably managed, strategically grown.
Our manufacturing sites in George, Longmore and Retreat combine advanced technology with expertise to transform timber into high-quality products.
We convert forest residues and by-products from our manufacturing sites into renewable biomass solutions.
Our orchards and agri-operations in Mpumalanga and Tzaneen contribute to sustainable land use and the growth of South Africa’s agri-sector.
Expanding beyond our core operations, our ecotourism business offers a range of recreational activities within our plantations.
Located in the Western and Eastern Cape regions of South Africa, our business philosophy and goals are grounded in sustainability where we work together and alongside our employees, customers, communities, partners and broader stakeholders to unlock value.
Grown and nurtured by a team of industry leaders and professionals, our forests produce a diverse range of high-quality timber products for our customers and partners - proudly in the Cape, by the Cape, for the Cape.
