Samartex | The Leading Wood Processing Company In Ghana - Main Component
About Us
Samartex Timber & Plywood Company Limited was
established in 1995
Hitherto, the company was known as African Timber & Plywood Company (AT&P) which had been in existence since 1947 under the UAC group of companies. Samartex Timber & Plywood Company Limited took over AT&P at a time when it was saddled with a myriad of problems including mismanagement and a disastrous fire outbreak, which had left the company’s facilities in chaos.
From 1995 Samartex Timber & Plywood Company Limited
has transformed through a massive programme of investment and rehabilitation to become the leading sustainable and socially responsible timber company in Ghana.
Samartex is located in Samreboi Western Region, and it has a work force of about 2000 employes with offices in Accra and Takoradi .
Besides wood processing
Samartex is also involved in the regeneration of the natural resources at its disposal through the establishment of plantation and agro-forestry schemes. Samartex has evolved into the development of value-added products with non-timber forest products (NTFPs) like Thaumatin sweetner and downstream processing of wood pieces that would otherwise be considered waste into carvings.
