By Africa Timber Marketing
Rom 10:9. " If you confess with your mouth, ' JESUS IS LORD ' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Our customers are assured of the best quality and most cost-effective saligna / hardwood doors in the market place and they can expect fast, efficient and personal service and a courteous approach in everything we do. The success of our business has always been through our customer-centric philosophy that is highlighted by our prompt delivery and total dedication to our customers and suppliers.
With years of experience in the doors and timber trade you can expect a fast, efficient and personal service and a courteous approach. We supply large quantities of saligna doors each month – right on time, every time.
The timber we use is called saligna or Eucalyptus grandis. It is our preferred choice with density and hardness and its bending strength well above other timbers, which makes saligna a stronger option. We are also fortunate to control our own drying of the timber with strict controls through a programmable logic controller( PLC) system, to ensure the end user receives good quality timber and products.
