As the forestry sector reflects on another year, one thing is clear: sustainably produced timber and wood-based products are central to Africa’s industrial future. PG Bison, the largest supplier of wood-based panel products in Africa, has doubled down on this future by investing for growth, backing local manufacturing, and positioning the region as a competitive global wood-based panel products producer. At the heart of PG Bison’s strategy is a simple but powerful proposition: if the South Africa timber industry grows and processes more of its own timber, the country can build a stronger industrial base, reduce its dependence on imports, increase jobs across the value chain and unlock new opportunities across the continent. As an active member of Forestry South Africa (FSA), PG Bison is deeply embedded across the forestry value chain.
