About Us

Who is Safripol?
We are a leading polymer producer and marketer, serving valued customers and markets across Africa and beyond. A proud member of KAP, a Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed company, we have grown to become the second largest polymer producer in Sub-Saharan Africa, with customers in every sector of industry and business.

But that is just who we are…

It’s what we do that really defines our value. Our world touches everything from medical equipment and food packaging, to industrial piping and energy products, to sports and recreational equipment, to carpets, denim jeans and children’s toys. The products our polymers go into seriously uplift people’s lives. Safripol (Pty) Ltd consists of a Commercial Head Office in Bryanston as well as key operations in Durban and Sasolburg.
Our culture
The core of our culture is one of strong industry leadership, and a responsibility to the customers we serve and the environment we operate in. Sustainability through our own actions, support of non profit organisations and support for national and environmental interests drives innovation, compliance and results.

We believe that honesty and integrity are important. We know that in a harsh economic climate, that a company that cares, is a company that’s strong. Our culture is, therefore, one of accountability, drive, excellence and trust.

We make a difference to the initiatives and products that uplift our continent. We make a difference to the creation of employment. And most importantly, we make a difference in people’s lives.

We innovate every day. We are believers. We invest in relationships. And we want to continue to make a real difference to you.
