TWK Agri was initially established by timber farmers. The aim was to assist in the marketing of their timber products, mainly Wattle bark and timber. This has subsequently expanded to also include other species of timber, mainly Eucalyptus and Pine logs as well as a variety of other timber products, not only for TWK’s farmers but for the South African timber industry as a whole.

TWK is actively involved in different aspects of research to create sustainable forestry not only for ourselves but also for the different suppliers of wood fibre and products.

This is achieved through:

Investing in genetically improved material and research in silviculture, harvesting and risk mitigation. With the help of the FABI, where it is represented, TWK is actively involved in research by monitoring forestry diseases and pests. TWK supports research into forestry, undertaken by the ICFR.

Dec 11, 20191 min read

TWK Healthy Habits het ondersoek gaan instel na ‘n voorstel ontvang is om TWK-werknemers met fietse te help wat tans werk toe stap. ‘n Definitiewe behoefte is onder ons personeel geïdentifiseer.

Daar was 200 bekostigbare fietse beskikbaar gemaak aan personeel wat belang gestel het.

Hierdie inisiatief maak ‘n groot verskil in die personeel se lewens, veral aan personeel wat voorheen nie vervoer gehad het nie en te voet werk toe moes stap. Positiewe terugvoer is alomteenwoordig en weereens bevestiging dat TWK daarna streef om die werkgewer van keuse te wees.
