SUGAR & MOLASSES

Our sugar manufacturing process is ISO 9001, HACCP, Kosher and Halaal certified

The decline in demand for wattle extract products in 1958
caused the company to look at the viability of using its extract factory downtime in the winter months to manufacture sugar.
Following successful trials and ultimately government approval, a 54 tons cane per hour (TCH) sugar cane factory was erected
in 1966 which incorporated the first bagasse diffuser to be used in South Africa.

WATTLE EXTRACT

Mimosa tanning Extract is a natural product derived from the bark of the Black Wattle tree (Acacia mearnsii), originally from Australia.
The Black Wattle species was introduced to South Africa for its timber in the 1800’s.
It was later discovered that the bark contained high levels of tannin, which can be used to cure and colour leather.
This led to the tree being widely planted to produce tanning Extract for the global leather industry.
