Wood-Mizer Ghana's Dealership_1.jpg)
The branch in Ivory Coast will widen Gyadosaboc’s ability to supply and service Wood-Mizer’s range of sawmills and equipment in West Africa.
Plans are also on track to increase Wood-Mizer’s presence in Togo and Benin where Gyadosaboc already has a sales presence.
The goal is to open Wood-Mizer branches in both countries too and give sawmillers there direct access to Wood-Mizer’s full product range and services.

Gyadosaboc Ltd’s growth in Ghana has not only laid the basis for its expansion into West Africa but has also ensured that Gyadosaboc Ltd continues to be ranked as one of Wood-Mizer’s top dealerships in Africa.
An award recently handed over to it at Wood-Mizer’s Africa and Asia Dealer Meeting celebrated Gyadosaboc’s long-standing relationship with Wood-Mizer which dates back to 1987. It also underlines the company’s on-going successes in West Africa.

Wood-Mizer’s wide branch network has ensured a number of benefits for sawmillers in the region.
Gyadosaboc’s ten branches in Ghana are near to the important timber productions areas in Ghana. This makes it easy for sawmillers to have access to Wood-Mizer’s full product range and to use its services to maintain productivity and profitability.
After sales service, maintenance, ready spares inventories and training support have also established Wood-Mizer as a brand that sawmillers in West Africa can trust.
Wood-Mizer together with Gyadosaboc’s Managing Director, Mr Philip Gyamfi, have also won recognition for their efforts to ensure greater sustainability in the country’s timber production sector.
The company regularly partners with the Ghanaian government’s forestry authorities to train sawmillers in modern timber production methods. Wood-Mizer’s narrow bandsaw thin kerf technology that wastes less timber is also recognised as an important partner in the country’s fight to preserve its timber resources better.

Gyadosaboc has also replanted large tracts of land to new teak plantations in Ghana. The company supports the fact that this contributes to a healthy sawmilling sector and the economic benefits that it brings while also preserving Ghana’s biodiversity.
