Our heritage ROOTED IN wood
In October 2018, the Knysna Timber Festival will celebrate its 5th anniversary as a showcase of local excellence across the value chain in the town where South Africa’ s timber industry first took root.
The Timber Festival is the property of the Knysna Timber Initiative( KTI) – a trade body of local industry leaders who represent every segment of the timber and woodworking value chain. Committed to the growth of the sector as a key driver of Knysna’ s economic development, local government has a vested interest in the Knysna Timber Festival and is largely responsible for translating KTI’ s vision into reality.
The Knysna Timber Festival is an end-to-end showcase of local timber and woodworking materials, machinery, manufacturers, products, services, skills and industry innovations. The Festival connects suppliers to buyers and promotes unity and collaboration across the industry.
