Forestry

Our forestry division is committed to providing high quality, renewable, structural grade timber using best practice land and forestry management methods. All timber harvested in the business is from a renewable source, is FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) certified and complies with best forestry management practices in South Africa.

Beef Herd

Our free range beef herd is managed in a grassland conserving, rotational grazing system and has been specifically bred to suit locality. This means livestock have developed a natural tolerance to local conditions so can be grown out with minimum use of interventions.

Conservation

Our commitment to conservation means many areas on the farmlands have been left in a natural state, so that the estate supports a wide range of wildlife, indigenous plants and natural forests.

Process

Surejoy Industries utilizes timber from its own plantations which are compliant with FSC’s principles and criteria. In house operations are used from the preparation and growing of the trees, through the various tending operations up to and including the harvesting and transport of the logs to the processing facilities. All the products are processed at the two plants and the CCA and Finger jointing plants conform to the SABS standards of compliance. Transport is available to deliver the products to customers.

We believe our commitment to our employee’s well-being shows in the very low level of staff turnover experienced in the business.

Surejoy Industries employ 270 permanent employees. As one of the largest employers in the district, the company takes its community and social responsibility seriously. Perks enjoyed by employees include free housing for 65 employees on company property, free daily transport for the remaining employees who live in the surrounding areas, as well as small interest free loans. The company complies with the current legislation for wages, is employment equity and skills development compliant.
