Name of the Project
PG Bison investment projects.
Location
Mpumalanga, South Africa.
Project Owner/s
PG Bison, a subsidiary of KAP Industrial Holdings.
Project Description
PG Bison announced in November at the 2020 South Africa Investment Conference that it planned to roll out several capital projects in South Africa over the next three years.
The company is investing in a new front-end dryer for its particleboard plant. This will significantly increase capacity, advancing its eMkhondo plant, in Mpumalanga, to more than 1 000 m3/d of particle board production. This additional investment comes on the back of the R600-million already spent on a new Siempelkamp Contiroll press and forming line.
The next stage in the company’s plans is to build an additional medium-density fibreboard (MDF) plant at the same location.
Currently, PG Bison produces 400 m3/d at its MDF plant, in Boksburg, Gauteng. The new additional plant will increase this to 800 m3/d of MDF, providing PG Bison with a total installed capacity on MDF of 1 200 m3/d between its two MDF plants.
