SPEC Toolbox is thrilled to announce their new partnership with the innovative South African Timber Manufacturer, Mass Timber Technologies. This marks their first partnership in Africa, which holds special significance for them as their structural engineering team is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Based in Johannesburg, South Africa – Mass Timber Technologies is a leading mass timber supplier producing high-quality CLT and glulam and has delivered some of the most prominent projects across the African continent.
Over the past few months, their team has had the pleasure of getting to know Pablo Corroto Pradillo and the entire team at MTT while finalising this collaboration.
“A big thank you for their commitment with Sustainabuild Group to driving the Mass Timber industry forward and deciding to partner with us to help make this tooling available for users in their home region.”
One can now find MTT’s CLT and glulam products in the SPEC Toolbox under the “Other” region. These products can be designed within the software according to the latest Eurocode standards. They are incredibly proud and excited about this partnership and look forward to helping scale mass timber engineering capacity across Africa together.
