Products transported range from car parts, weaponry and ivory to scientific equipment shipped to the Antarctic.

Clipbox focuses on logistics markets, government, the motor and military industries for the bulk of their business. A wide range of customers is targeted as sales tend to be won as bulk batch deliveries rather than monthly regular purchases.

ClipBox, the packaging business, manufactures a range of reusable and collapsible specialised plywood packaging that uses steel clips as connectors. This business was relaunched during 2003 to replace the Clip-Lok brand which we no longer markets.

In the plywood market we focus on the manufacture of higher value, smaller volume good-quality, face - grade plywood products, particularly thinner boards. This better suits our slower but more flexible production line.

Our veneer is used primarily in the furniture components industry which manufactures the carcasses of upholstered office furniture. We are the only company that specializes in the veneer required to manufacture these product ranges and we currently supply most of the South African market. The veneer used is 1.5mm pine and Eucalyptus Grandis veneer.

Three product ranges are made at ELB Timber Products. They are veneer, plywood and packaging.
