TimRite operates in the mining supply and services sector. It is the largest supplier of timber based roof support products into the South African deep level mining (Gold and Platinum). It’s secondary focus is on the supply of sawn timber into the industrial timber market.

We provide innovative mining solutions such as support products (timber elongates & mats), polymer bags (grout & backfill bags) & steel (temporary & permanent support)) and services such as fire retardant treatment for timber, timber yard management and support monitoring & control.
TimRite has five saw mills, seven front end operations and R & D facility where we conduct research, product development and performance tests.

Whilst the origins of Timrite are firmly based in the timber industry, it has been repositioned as a provider of underground support solutions which include non-timber products and logistical services

Timrite, the largest supplier of timber based support product into the South African deep level mining industry has a dual focus in going forward:

1. The development of safe, cost effective composite underground support solutions
   Timrite has the most advanced research, development and surface testing facility, based at their operations in Westonaria. Together with the rock engineering skills and expertise of Timrite the key mining challenges of enhanced safety and a deeper ore body are met. This is achieved through ongoing collaboration between Timrite and its customers that results in innovative product development and unique solutions for the industry.
2. Optimising the value of its timber asset
   Timrite’s investment in eucalyptus plantations allows for diversification into servicing the industrial timber and special pole markets.
