Moztimber is a trusted timber exporter, we are a well established company in Mozambique with sawing mill in Beira. We own a large timber concession in Beira and our main species are Panga Panga, Chanfuta, Umbila, Messassa vermelha.

Panga Panga is extraordinary in its rarity; it is available in commercial quantities only in Mozambique. Its dark color with rich parenchyma bands brings a touch of the exotic into any room. Chanfuta is a stunning deep cream colored yellow wood with its own ambience.

• Our principle is to produce sawn timber customized to each individual requirement. We can efficiently fulfill customer demands regarding sizes, grading, length and kilndrying. Our factories are situated in the middle of high quality, tight grown forests which are the principal starting point for competitive high grade products.

Moztimber is a trusted timber exporter, we are a well established company in Mozambique with sawing mill in Beira.

We own a large timber concession in Beira and our main species are Panga Panga, Chanfuta, Umbila, Messassa vermelha.
