Mass Timber Technologies (MTT) is a timber prefabrication company, specialising in the manufacture and supply of large scale, complex building components for use in construction applications. At our facility in Johannesburg, raw lumber is graded, shaped, pressed and robotically cut to the highest quality and accuracy standards.
We offer a wide range of structural mass timber solutions in Cross-laminated Timber (CLT) as well as Glue-laminated Timber (GLT) beams and columns.
Mass timber is a sustainable, durable, accurate and beautiful building product. With no water use on site, rapid building assembly speeds and a high structural performance, mass timber structures not only reduce the carbon output of a project, but offer a healthy space for the occupants. MTT’s state-of-the-art digital design to fabrication system produces building elements quickly and efficiently to meet the demands of the Southern African construction industry.

Following a successful partial #mockup and #testassembly, the final preparations are being made to ship to Rwanda. Although modest in scale, this unique project consists of more than 60 unique beam geometries, with close to 700 unique, millimetre-accurate GLT parts.
With MTT's Managing Director Marcus van der Hoven in London this week, we've been reflecting on our reach in South Africa and further afield. We are extremely proud of how far our homegrown proudly south african engineered timber has reached.
