Established in 2016, XLAM South Africa is Africa’s first manufacturer of Cross-Lamented Timber (CLT), proudly paving the way to smarter building solutions since our inception. With a focus on sustainability, a passion for architectural freedom, and a deep respect for the natural resources we depend on, XLAM designs and manufactures cross-laminated timber panels for a local construction industry with a global mindset.

At our core, we believe in the value of social responsibility through the use of locally sourced South African pine and eucalyptus, responsibly harvested from sustainable forests and bonded using environmentally friendly glue. As a leading manufacturer of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Glulam structural systems in South Africa, we combine locally sourced timber with advanced engineering to deliver high-performance, low-carbon building solutions. The result? Buildings that are stronger, lighter, and kinder to the planet.

We work at the intersection of sustainability and innovation, blending traditional timber craftsmanship, advanced engineering, and modern manufacturing to deliver smart building solutions that meet both today’s economic, architectural, and environmental demands. From commercial developments to homes and large-scale structures, XLAM’s cross-laminated timber panels enable greater design freedom, faster construction, and long-term performance, benefiting both the environment and your architectural vision.

As pioneers in precision-engineered Cross Laminated Timber on the African continent, our mission remains unchanged: to reshape construction across Africa and beyond through sustainable sourcing, off-site manufacturing, sharing valuable insight, and helping to advance best practices in modern timber architecture. XLAM is dedicated to building a future that is sustainable by design, innovative on purpose, and built to last throughout generations.
