PLAYING A PART IN WATER & FOOD SECURITY SBS TANKS
Proudly South African company SBS has been supplying liquid and dry storage solutions to the mining, municipal, agricultural, fire protection and water conservation industries for more than two decades. It plays a vital role in maintaining water and food
Headquartered in Pinetown, KwaZuluNatal, the specialist company has local offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town, with international offices in Ghana, Kenya, and the United States.
SBS has built more than 1,800 tanks in South Africa and around the world. “We would like to expand our customer base. With this in mind, we would like to broaden our capabilities through regional market development and global alliances,” says Delayne Gray, entrepreneur and Group CEO.
SBS goes way beyond simple storage. It prides itself on being involved at every stage of a project, from brief and design to installation and that all-important after-sales service. The close to 200 staff members, who have a hands-on work ethic, receive additional training and are encouraged to adopt a mindset of continual improvement. “The company was built to service the community around them and has remained true to that vision since the very beginning,” Gray says.
SBS Tanks are ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001-accredited. The wall panels and roof sheets of all SBS Tanks are made of zincalume (a combination of zinc and aluminium), which renders the tanks resistant to corrosion. All tanks are fitted with an approved liner, tested for use in contact with drinking water that prevents water from getting to the wall panels. The company supplies tanks with capacities from 12 KL right up to 3.3 ML, and the tanks are versatile, with a wide range of standard and special fittings available.
SBS Agri, another division of the company, boasts a combined 40 years’ experience in the agricultural sector. It offers bespoke wet and dry storage solutions, including a complete range of silos, and conveying and drying equipment for the storage and processing of grain. Inefficient grain storage has been a problem in South Africa, and SBS Agri has developed a range of grain storage hoppers that do not require electricity to operate. They can, therefore, be used by rural farming communities that are “off the grid”.
