Samareboi-based timber giant Samartex Timber & Plywood Company Ltd is one of Ghana’s leading wood processing and forest-product manufacturing companies, with a strong reputation for quality, sustainability, and global trade.

Founded in 1995 after taking over the former African Timber & Plywood Company (AT&P), Samartex has evolved from a struggling operation into a modern, vertically integrated timber producer known across Africa and beyond.

At its core, Samartex specializes in the harvesting, processing, and export of timber and plywood products, serving markets in the United States, Europe, Asia, and other regions. The company’s product range encompasses high-quality sawn timber, veneers, plywood, laminated products, and specialty wood items, sourced from controlled natural forests and processed using advanced milling technologies.

Samartex operates with a significant workforce — employing thousands and maintaining offices in Ghana’s Western Region, Accra, and Takoradi — contributing meaningfully to local employment and national economic growth.

The company is also known for its commitment to sustainable forest management and environmental stewardship. In collaboration with conservation partners like WWF and Friends of the Earth, Samartex has implemented responsible forestry practices and pursued credible certification programs that promote the long-term health of Ghana’s valuable forest resources.

Over the years, Samartex has expanded its capabilities and product lineup, making it a key player in Ghana’s timber industry and a respected exporter of wood products worldwide.
