Two key industry players, Tzaneng Group and Arch Wood Protection, have teamed up to introduce a new distribution platform for the globally recognized Tanalised® C wood preservative. This move sees the appointment of Arch Wood as Tzaneng Group’s recognized partner in order to expand their product offering and satisfy the growing market demand for CCA treated products.
Tzaneng Group is headed by Riaan Du Plessis, who boasts 21 years’ experience in the forestry and timber industry and has an established reputation as one of the leaders in the Sub Saharan utility pole market.
“We identified an opportunity and an increasing demand in the local and export market for Tanalised® C wood preservative as some suppliers were changing over to CCA treatment because it is a ‘cleaner’ product, and because the demand for creosote products is currently under pressure in South Africa,” explains Du Plessis. “Another reason for installing the CCA treatment plant was to enable us to service this market without having to make use of other treaters and thereby offer a more cost effective service to our clients.”
A huge draw card in partnering with Arch was the company’s proven track record and experience in the design and installation of CCA treatment plants. This decision was further coupled with the their ability to provide a service delivery of ‘everything under one roof’ – from the plant design, installation, commission, training, supply of chemical and after sales service.
Du Plessis rated the service they received from Arch Wood as ‘highly recommended’. “Their knowledge and expertise is of an exceptionally high standard and quality, which has given us tremendous peace of mind and confidence in their product,” he added.
Doug Sayce, General Manager of Arch Wood Protection, concludes, “This is the realization of a project that began last year to meet the growing demand for CCA treated products in the African region. We were happy to form a partnership with Tzaneng Group who recognized our expertise in the most recent designs and requirements for a project of this nature, and we look forward to confidently growing this relationship through our after-sales technical and marketing support service”.
Tanalised® C pressure treated wood is treated with the internationally recognised preservative Tanalith® C (CCA) and sets itself apart with its global regulatory expertise backing. Its applications are wide ranging and also include roof trusses, thatch roof and lapa poles, walkways and decking, fencing, agricultural and vineyard posts and trellises.
