established
We specialise in the production of the following products:
PLYWOOD
Miro Plywood is available for the West African market and worldwide. Made with Eucalyptus, Gmelina and Acacia timbers from our own plantations, our plywood has high structural properties and durability.
SAWN TIMBER PRODUCTS
Our Edge Glued Panels are typically made with Acacia timber sourced from our own plantations (but can also be made from Teak, Red Mahogany (Eucalyptus Pellita) or White Teak (Gmelina) upon request).
POLES & POSTS
CCA or Tanalith-C is the most widely used timber treatment used in Africa and across the world, particularly for electricity poles, building and fencing posts, with durability lasting more than 20 years.
FORESTRY PRODUCTS
Miro Forestry & Timber Products is the largest plantation forestry group in West Africa by a significant margin. As a result, all our products are sourced from our own plantations, producing full reliability of supply and chain of custody.
FSC Licence numbers FSC-C133731, FSC-C135138, FSC-C136035 and FSC-C135138.
Our Mission
To develop and operate globally high-quality and cost competitive commercial forestry plantations producing plywood, sawn timber panels, poles and wood biomass sustainably to Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) standards whilst providing environmental, social and economic benefit to local communities.

WHY INVEST IN SUSTAINABLE TIMBER
Investing in sustainable timber is important.
MIRO FORESTRY
Like to know more about Carbon Credits & Certification
Carbon Credits
Miro has established more new forest area, on previously degraded land, than any other company on the African continent.
Certification
Miro Forestry & Products are certified to the required industry standards.
The Miro difference
We are a vertically integrated timber products company, planting, growing and harvesting trees, to manufacture sustainable timber products. We therefore have total control over our supply chain from seed to tree and then from log to finished timber product
PLANTATIONS
Miro owns and manages its own plantations which are FSC™ certified. We produce seedlings in our nurseries, plant them out on our land areas, and then maintain and manage these planted forests until harvest ready.
LOGS
We harvest logs from our own plantations using modern harvesting equipment and systems. These hardwood logs we transport to our timber products manufacturing industries efficiently located in and around our plantations.
MANUFACTURE
Our principal product which accounts for the vast majority of our turnover is plywood, but to maximise the value from our forests we also produce finger-jointed edge glue panels, CCA treated electricity transmission poles, fence posts and wood biomass.
DELIVERY
Our forests and manufacturing facilities are strategically located with efficient access to Atlantic container ports. We therefore ship our products globally and cost competitively, helping our clients to diversify their supply chain risk with our unique, high quality, FSC™ supply from West Africa.
