Founded in 1990, the Company has been hot dip galvanizing products for the greater Durban area, Mauritius, Seychelle, and Germany for over 20 years. In 1995 the company moved into their current Briardene branch location in Briardene Industrial park.
Since 2014 the Company has seen a massive increase in volume and as a result, has recently acquired one of its competitors, Phoenix Galvanizing and the Centrifuge plant. Today the 3 plants dip in excess of 2000 tons of steel per month, while still boasting a 48 – 72-hour turnaround time.
