From humble beginnings to industry leader – the SA Builders journey
Building South Africa Since 1973
SA Builders was founded in 1973 by brothers Jacob and Samuel Mbeki with a simple vision: to provide South African construction companies with access to premium quality building materials that would stand the test of time.
Starting with a small brick manufacturing facility in Johannesburg, we quickly earned a reputation for quality and reliability. Our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction helped us expand our product range and geographical reach.
Today, SA Builders is a trusted name across South Africa and beyond, supplying construction materials to projects of all sizes – from residential homes to commercial skyscrapers and industrial complexes.
While we’ve grown significantly over the decades, our founding principles remain unchanged: quality products, fair pricing, and exceptional customer service.
