Who we are?

Welcome to Hoffman Forestry Company Limited (HFC) — where we believe in growing trees, not problems! Based in Uganda, East Africa, we’re a small but mighty forestry and timber harvesting company with a big commitment to the environment. Our mission? To create forests that are not only cost-effective but also meet the highest environmental standards, certifiable by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). We’re all about nurturing healthy ecosystems while producing top-quality timber.

At HFC, we’re branching out (pun intended!) into offering a wide range of high-quality, sustainably grown timber products for the eco-conscious construction and manufacturing sectors. Our primary activities include sustainable forest management, forestry consulting, and crafting value-added products from responsibly grown forests. What sets us apart? Our dedication to environmental stewardship and our passion for doing things the sustainable way. That’s why businesses and communities trust us to help reduce their environmental impact, one tree at a time.

The timber industry is facing a big challenge: how to balance the demand for commercial timber with the need to protect our planet. Traditional logging methods have done quite a bit of damage — deforestation, habitat loss, and ecosystem disruptions, all contributing to the climate crisis. But here at HFC, we’re cutting down (in the best way possible) on those harmful practices. We know that businesses and consumers, especially in construction and manufacturing, are increasingly looking for greener options, and the current timber supply chain just isn’t cutting it (okay, last tree pun, we promise).

To pioneer sustainable forestry and agribusiness solutions that harmonize environmental conservation, community empowerment, and commercial viability.

To be East Africa’s leading sustainable forestry enterprise, recognized for innovation, biodiversity protection, and inclusive growth.
