This year marks a momentous occasion for Timbercity as we celebrate 50 years of building excellence.

As one of Southern Africa’s most recognised brands, we’ve played an integral role in countless projects, from DIY home improvements to large-scale construction.
A 50-Year Legacy: The History of Timbercity
Timbercity’s journey began in 1974 in Parow, Cape Town, with a vision to provide high-quality timber and hardware to professionals and hobbyists alike. In 1979, our first franchise was opened, signalling the start of a national expansion after PG Wood acquired the brand. Timbercity continued to grow, merging with PG Bison in 1986, and later becoming part of the Steinhoff Group in 2004.
In 2018, we rebranded under Pepkor to distance from Steinhoff International, ensuring our focus remained on what matters most—delivering exceptional products and services to our customers. Our mascot, Chippie the Beaver, has been a beloved symbol of Timbercity’s customer-focused ethos for over 50 years, embodying our dedication to service.
Throughout our history, we’ve been committed to supporting local communities through various initiatives, contributing to the growth of the building materials industry in Southern Africa. Timbercity’s partnerships and community programs have helped improve lives and foster development across the region.
