“What a privilege to meet one of our members that really “walks the talk” with regard to supporting local products and services."

Dalane Du Preez

Executive Manager Marketing and Communications, Proudly SA.

“We were looking to improve sustainability on our site. We set up a meeting with SBS to find out how we could use the natural resource water. After a good rainfall, we can run for two and a half weeks without tapping into municipal water, so there is a cost reduction. The technology that SBS uses is world-class. I would recommend SBS, they are professionals in what they do. I don’t think it will be the last time we use them.”

Wayne Ridgeway

Operations Manager, CHEP KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

"SBS has been a long relationship, I must have put in 30 - 40 tanks in the last 16 years. I have seen tanks fail, but I have never seen an SBS tank fail."

Simon Joubert

Director: SIVEST

“Ubuntu Bam has worked with SBS on several projects and they are unlike any other contractors. They are experts in offering solution-based advice, design specific water security options and a stress-free installation. This latest project, in Mount Ayliff in the Eastern Cape will bring water to around 500 households and we, at Ubuntu Bam Rural Development know that SBS is a project partner that we can trust. We believe in them - they know what they are doing!”

"LITTLE EDEN Society is grateful for the ongoing support and partnership received from SBS Tanks. It is through such special friendships that our Society is able to continue providing quality care to the 300 children and adults with profound intellectual disability in our care"

Xelda Rohrbeck

CEO Little Eden Society

"We were looking to find a way to enhance KWAL's production capacity and elevate the working conditions for their dedicated staff. SBS Tanks installed two towering Fire Tanks, each soaring just over six meters high and storing an impressive 516,000 litres of water. With a combined capacity of over a million litres of fire water, this innovation ensures the facility's autonomy, no longer reliant on external water sources to power the crucial sprinkler system within the building. This safeguards not only the lives and well-being of KWAL's employees and cherished customers but also secures the investments of shareholders. "
