About Us
Since 2007, MAXLAND had transformed our operations to meet the requirements of Sabah’s Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) regime. Having invested in upgrading our equipment and facilities for sustainable timber, we currently operate 28,051 hectares of Forest Management Units with 50 years tenure.
The group owns and operates logging machinery and vehicles including log fishers which form one of the main prerequisites to comply with Reduced Impact Logging("RIL") under SFM. This full-fledged fleet has the capacity to handle more than 150,000 cubic meter of timber harvesting per year.
Our integrated modernized plywood and sawn timber complexes are located on more than 100 acres of land each in Seguntor and Batu Sapi, Sandakan, respectively. With capacities to produce 180,000 cubic meter of plywood a year and 48,000 cubic meter of sawn timber a year. At full fledge running, the operations can employ more than 2,000 personnel and are equipped with state-of-the-art wood peeling machinery.
The past decade has seen a major shift in policy and regulation in the forestry industry, with the Sabah Forest Department’s implementation of Reduced Impact Logging (“RIL”) and long-term licences under sustainable Forest Management regime for the management, replanting and harvesting of Forest Management Units.
Having anticipated these changes, MAXLAND has invested more than RM100 million in modernized and upgrading its equipment and machinery since 2008, in order to ensure the Group remains relevant in the new landscape for sustainable, renewable timber in Sabah.
