John Bitar & Company Limited is one of Ghana’s longest-established and most respected timber processing and export companies, with roots dating back to 1955. Incorporated as a private limited liability company, it has grown over the decades to become a leading producer and exporter of premium wood products under Ghana’s Free Zones enclave.

Headquartered in Sekondi-Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana, John Bitar & Company Ltd specializes in the manufacture, processing, and international distribution of high-quality timber and wood products sourced from Ghana’s rich tropical forests. The company produces a diverse range of products including sliced veneers, rotary cut veneers, plywood, lumber, mouldings, profile sections, laminated and finger-jointed wood products, and flooring materials — all sold under recognizable trademarks in global markets across Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Over its long operational history, the company has expanded its industrial footprint with multiple large factories, developed robust export networks, and earned numerous local and international awards for export excellence and contribution to economic cooperation and trade.

John Bitar & Company Ltd is also committed to sustainable forestry and environmental stewardship. It has participated in internationally supported initiatives toward responsible wood sourcing and supply chain transparency, including Controlled Wood and Chain of Custody certification efforts aimed at eliminating illegal logging and promoting ethical practices in the timber industry.

Today, the company remains a cornerstone of Ghana’s timber manufacturing and export sector, combining traditional expertise with modern production standards to deliver quality wood products to customers around the world.
