Welcome to KAEFER South Africa
KAEFER’s journey in South Africa began in 1976 when we took our first steps in the industry. Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved, reaching significant milestones. In 1998, we acquired Thermal Insulation Supplies and Contractors (Pty) Ltd from Murray and Roberts, solidifying our commitment to excellence.
Our headquarters proudly reside in Johannesburg, where we orchestrate our operations. We’ve established ourselves as a market leader in insulation, access solutions, surface protection, passive fire protection, and asbestos solutions. Our diverse clientele spans industries such as petrochemical plants, power generation, mining and processing, chemicals, and paper manufacturing.
KAEFER’s influence extends well beyond South African borders. We’ve undertaken insulation, scaffolding, and painting projects not only within our home country but also across the African continent. Our footprint has touched countries like Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland.
Our presence in South Africa spans over 45 years, and globally, the KAEFER Group has been serving clients for more than a century. Our legacy is built on a foundation of excellence, reliability, and innovation.
At KAEFER, we’re more than just a company: we’re a leading provider of technical construction, maintenance, and industrial services. Our specialisation includes electromechanical services, surface protection, insulation & cladding, access solutions, passive fire protection, and asbestos management.
Our organisation is structured into distinct business units, each dedicated to delivering top-notch solutions. These units are: KAEFER Thermal Contracting Services, KAEFER Energy Projects, KAEFER Africa Holdings, and KAEFER LDA.
We are passionate about what we do, and our commitment to quality as well as health & safety drives everything we undertake. With decades of experience and a global presence, we stand ready to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. When it counts, count on us.
An experienced board provides strategic direction and leadership, monitors the implementation of business and strategic plans, and approves capital funding for these plans to support a sustainable business.
Individually, directors bring a complementary range of skills and expertise to board deliberations, including engineering, metallurgy, finance, governance, legal and stakeholder engagement. Regular updates and in-depth sessions keep the board abreast of developments in our industry to ensure informed decision.
