Invest in a viable future

Sustainable rubber to ensure long-term viability

Corrie MacColl represents change for the natural rubber industry. We have the resources to revolutionise the way rubber is grown, processed and distributed. Our economically sustainable business model materialises through our efforts of ensuring quality of product and sustainability of the supply chain, while operating in an environmentally and socially responsible way.

Our plantations business operates the largest commercially owned plantation with output expected to be in excess of 120,000 metric tonnes per year. Our production concentrates on customised, specialised natural latex and rubber grades for customers operating within the non-tyre and specialty-tyre business segment. Further down the supply chain, we have a truly global distribution footprint that includes some of the world’s most historic rubber trading businesses. We add further value to our distribution segment with our support services of warehouse, tank storage facilities and laboratory services.
