Our Story

Treated Timber Products (TTP) specializes in the production of Transmission, Telephone, Fencing and Building poles. TTP was established in 1939 and is now the largest producer of Utility Poles in the Southern Hemisphere. With our six treating plants strategically positioned near Durban and Maputo harbours, we are able to serve the local and export market with comparative ease.

Our poles are pressure treated with either Creosote or Copper Chrome Arsenic (CCA) to meet the South African National Standards SANS 457 and SANS 754 or any other recognized national or international specification. TTP carries a large stock of treated and untreated poles, giving us the ability to meet large orders at short notice.

The Holley family started treating wooden transmission poles in 1939. The original treatment plant was developed by the then President of the Commonwealth Forestry Association, Mr. James Hunt Holley Snr. This treatment plant on Broadmore farm, has continuously been upgraded and still forms the core of our business. The first specialized transmission pole drying kilns in Africa were imported from Germany and installed in 1980 at the original plant. TTP has expanded the drying kiln capacity at our additional plants giving TTP the largest capacity of any treated pole manufacturer in Africa.

Over the past several years TTP has grown its pole processing capacity significantly from the original Broadmoor plant with the acquisition of Cramond, Ashton, Ramanas, Lows Creek and recently the Lowveld Treated Timber Products and Sawco treating plants, with a combined treating capacity of 30,000 cubic meters of poles per month.
