Africa faces a $30bn wood deficit by 2030, which can not be supplied by its plantations. Komaza can scale to meet it.
We’re already the largest forestry company in Kenya, and our smallholder microforestry model isn’t the only way we’re shaking up the industry: our seedling nursery (the largest in Kenya) is leading the way in agroforestry innovation, and our new, modular saw mill is state-of-the-art.
The key to our success and growth? Our innovative tech platform, which provides real time management of trees, and connects us—from seedling to sawmill—into one, integrated experience. Data-driven, flexible, scaleable.
We’re providing life-changing economic opportunities for farmers and delivering 80% cost disruption vs. traditional big plantation forestry and VC-worthy IRRs. We’re one of the most effective carbon sequestration engines on the planet.
Solid provenance
All of our trees are planted on smallholder farmland. Our proprietary tech platform helps us track and account for every single one, so you can be confident in the provenance of our wood.
Sustainable Source
Today, we’re Kenya’s largest forestry company—and we’re growing fast. The more quality wood we grow, the more environmental impact we can make. You can rely on us to be a quality, sustainable source of wood. Now, and in the years to come.
Fair value
We are local. That means no extra transport costs or import taxes, and we can pass that saving on to you. Plus, you’re not buying from a faceless plantation corporation. You’re buying from local farmers, like Erastus, supporting another local business just like yours.
Our Products
Fresh from our state-of-the-art sawmill, all of our products are made with the utmost care and attention to quality. The Eucalyptus (Blue Gum) that we grow on the Kenyan Coast is among the densest in Kenya—strong and sturdy enough for any project.
1. Sawn timber
We launched our state-of-the-art sawmill in Central Kenya in 2022, to supply Kenya’s first kiln-dried timber. The sawmill was designed and built to top global standards and produces both standard and custom sizes of various grades:
Defect-free and dimensionally accurate. Clear is a premium grade, produced for the highest value applications; such as furniture and flooring. Kiln-dried for maximum stability and Planed All Round for immediate usage, the 25mm/1” clear planks come in a variety of widths, with lengths up to 7m/23ft (After finger jointing)
For high-end applications with a touch of rustic, the semi-clear grade is equivalent to the clears in all aspects, while sporting natural features that add to its character without compromising on quality and stability. Just like the clears, 25mm/1” semi-clears are Kiln Dried and Planed All
Rounds for ready-utilisation. Finger Jointing allows full flexibility on lengths.
2”/50mm thick material for structural applications allows full reliability after finger jointing that gets rid of defects that may temper with structural soundness. Kiln Drying is recommended for enhanced precision and to allow Finger Jointing up to 7m/23ft. Wet of Saw is also available at affordable prices.
This is the most versatile grade of eucalyptus timber and is perfect for all general applications, where reliability and affordability is more important than aesthetics and precision. It is available in a variety of widths and thicknesses whether Kiln Dried or Wet of Saw.
