A forestry and sawmilling concern, Merensky Timber supplies Pine and Eucalyptus lumber to southern African and international markets. Merensky plantations comprise both Pine and Eucalyptus species, totalling ca 65 000 hectares across South Africa.

Many decades of continuous genetic improvements have resulted in superior Eucalyptus sawlog plantations.
