Innovation & value-add

To remain relevant and sustainable, we constantly innovate. We regularly benchmark our products at international and local level, and actively engage with our customers and consumers in the formal and informal sectors.

We refresh our product range biannually, with the launch of a new range planned for October 2022. This new range embraces two main trends, including bold, clean designs and naturals to reflect the beauty of nature, both with the intention of inspiring beautiful living spaces. This will continue to strengthen our unique value-added product range and ensure that we meet the needs of our customers across the African continent.

A second gloss-coating line and an additional seventh MFB press line will also be added at our Boksburg MDF plant in FY23 to meet the growing demand for our high-quality value-added products.
