“I’ve worked with a lot of big companies but I don’t get the same treatment that PPC gives me. They keep checking up on me and when I order I know I am guaranteed cement the next day. They really do care about their customers.”

Based in Vryburg in the North West, JJO Boerdery provides building supplies to the Free State, North West and Northern Cape areas. “I’ve been dealing with PPC for 19 years and see myself as part of the PPC family. They’re always just a phone call away when I need assistance with anything.”

Isaac and Promise Mbele started their brick making business, ETT Mbele Projects in Thokoza, in 2008 from the profits made selling spinach. In 2012 during one of PPC’s Roadshows, Isaac was operating out of a container we had and his output was low so we found a way to help him increase his output exponentially. Since then we have helped Isaac and his daughter build up and shape their community.

“We have been using their product in our mixes for many years now and can say with certainty that it only makes for a good recipe for success. The service we receive from PPC is outstanding and nothing is too much trouble for them, from the admin, to finance, to sales. We look forward to a bright future with PPC and many more years of this wonderful working relationship.”

“We get so much support from PPC and they help us a lot with technical advice when our customers have questions about the product. With support right from the birth of my business, PPC has been invaluable in its support. What I love about PPC is that whenever you need them they are a phone call away.”

Set up in 2010, Lefika Concrete Products produces kerb stones and paving blocks. “We have gone from strength to strength through the use of PPC cement 42.5 which has improved the quality of our own products dramatically at a very reasonable cost, in comparison to other tried and tested brands.”

As a company, we believe that customers like Joseph Molatlege, owner of Aredereng Bricks Company, located in Soshanguve North of Pretoria inspires us to continue building lasting and impactful relationships. In 2011, he experienced difficulty acquiring bricks for a building project so he undertook to make the bricks himself. He bought the machines, asked us for assistance and we decided our hashtag #StrengthBeyond ethos is the only way to assist. Joseph is just one of the many customers we empower so they can also empower others.
