Perspex South Africa aims to be the preferred manufacturer and supplier of acrylic-based products and solutions, to both the local and international market.
Perspex South Africa (Pty) Ltd have been the leading manufacturer and supplier of Perspex Cast Acrylic sheet in South Africa since 1966.
Perspex is available in a wide range of colours, thickness, sizes and textures and can be customised to meet specific customer requirements for both internal and external applications.
Typical uses of Perspex include: sanitary ware products, signs, point of sale displays, architectural applications, glazing applications, safety screening, roof lighting, furniture, light fittings and industrial components for the medical and chemical industries.
Perspex South Africa is in the process of transforming itself from a production led organisation to a driven, sales led organisation which fully understands the dynamic needs of its marketplace. The company boasts 2 full scale production cast plants, still on the original site, and an extrusion machine capable of producing a variety of extruded materials to complement the Cast Acrylic Sheet produced in our cast plants. As members of the Responsible Care Initiative, we take advantage of the recyclable nature of our products by operating a Depolymerisation Plant which converts scrap Perspex into Methyl Methacrylate Monomer, the primary raw material used in the production of Perspex.
Perspex South Africa is fully BEE Compliant, having achieved a Level 4 BEE Status. “Safety before profit” is an absolute at Perspex South Africa. Perspex South Africa also regularly contributes to various charitable causes as part of its ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
Innovation is a key focus for Perspex South Africa as we drive our product offering forward in an increasingly competitive and educated marketplace. Our on site laboratory is tasked with scientifically researching new innovation ideas and has over 60 years experience in the field of colour matching and new product development. Our recently launched Innovations Range which consists of Fluorescent, Pearlescent and Vario Perspex is an example of this quest for constant product rejuvenation. Watch this space for future projects currently being tested by our team of laboratory experts!
