New Forests Company (NFC) Uganda

The New Forests Company, established in 2004, is a vertically integrated East and Southern African forestry and timber operation. It is one of the largest privately-owned forestry and timber companies in East Africa, with major import replacement opportunities existing in the timber markets. The establishment of pine and eucalypt plantations is ongoing in all the areas, using species that are tolerant of tropical conditions. Pole treatment plants have been established in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda. Further processing operations (sawmilling, pole treatment, charcoal and wood processing) are being developed in all countries in which NFC operates.
