Global Procurement Options

We offer two operational frameworks to accommodate our international partners' supply chain requirements:

Option 1: Client Collection (Local SA Rates)

This is the cheapest procurement route. Clients manage their own freight logistics by dispatching trucks and empty containers directly to our Brackenfell facility. Mother City Firewood handles the processing, bagging, and industrial loading at competitive local South African rates. Liability transfers to the client once the container is sealed and the vehicle departs our yard.

Option 2: Managed Shipment to Port

We facilitate the movement of timber from our facility directly to your nearest international port. Leveraging our local and Namibian logistics partners, we manage the land-side transport and ocean freight on your behalf, providing a turnkey solution that ensures your inventory arrives at its destination with verified compliance and integrity.

Country-Specific Coverage & Enquiries

We currently serve markets across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Middle East. Due to evolving trade regulations and biosecurity protocols, all new clients must enquire regarding our current coverage and capacity for specific destination countries.

  • Hardwoods: Kameeldoring (Camelthorn), Sekelbos, and Mopane.
  • Utility Wood: Eucalyptus (Blue Gum) and Rooikrans.
