Sinvac Plastics Information

SINVAC PLASTICS is the oldest rotomoulder in South Africa and was established in 1962 in Pretoria West on the existing site by a Mr Lightbody and Greek partners. The name was derived from the objective to produce rotomoulded products. The SIN was derived from the sintering process which is part of rotomoulding. A vacuum process was also part of the original thinking and therefore the VAC and hence the name SINVAC. The history and good name of SINVAC PLASTICS continues into the entity SINVAC PLASTICS (PTY) LTD owned by a group of engineers, employees and BEE shareholders. The main focus of this entity is the marketing, manufacturing and distribution of rotomoulded and other plastic products into South Africa and other Subsaharan countries. The majority of the manufacturing is done in the manufacturing entity which had to be redesigned and reconfigured. New technology was introduced and quality systems upgraded. SINVAC PLASTICS operates as part of a group with non-ferrous foundry, specialized welding and electroplating and other industrial interests. SINVAC caters as a boutique producer for the requirements of small orders but also has the capacity to deliver big volume contracts. SINVAC hosts and/or owns a total of about 350 moulds. SINVAC operates from the factory premises in Pretoria West and has a marketing team, Factory Shop and the full production unit based there.
