Our factory is ideally located to serve the export and local industry
Situated in Coega’s IDZ, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), South Africa, our facility is ideally located to serve the export and local industry.
Using invasive tree species (Eucalyptus, Acacia and Pines) along with sawmill residues, we provide industries with wood pellets – a sustainable, low-carbon fuel alternative.
The facility has a capacity to produce up to 120,000 tons per annum of high-quality white wood pellets. To ensure the quality and reliability of our products our facility installed industry leading equipment from Germany, Sweden and Canada.
This includes brands such a Kahl, Bruks, Grecon, and Bandit. We have an in-house lab to continuously test the key parameters of our products and utilize accredited third-party labs (TLR based in Rotterdam) to ensure we produce pellets to meet ISO-17225 quality standards.
