A five
year agreement, was signed between
DPI Plastics (Pty) Limited and ourselves
on 15th July 2002, following several
months of negotiation. The agreement
includes the whole of the African
continent including the Indian Ocean
Islands, but excluding Egypt, Libya,
Algeria and Morocco.
The following Copely Brands will either
be manufactured in South Africa or
sourced from our Leicester base: Codeflex;
Coplexel; Aquavend; Eurolon; Safestrip.
The internationally recognised Copely
CD logo will also feature as appropriate.
DPI Plastics are a volume manufacturer
of Rigid UPVC pipe, exceeding 30,000
tonnes per annum, with distribution
facilities throughout South Africa
and the licensed territories.
DPI’s parent Company is Sasol,
one of South Africa's largest corporations,
providing employment for more than
200,000 people directly or indirectly.
Copely Developments Ltd are proud
to be selected to participate in this
important Hose manufacturing project.
In addition to the hose manufacturing
technology transfer, Copely will provide
a facility for hose recycling and
waste recovery. A number of Copely
designed plants are operating successfully
in various parts of the world, including
Australia, Mexico, Sweden and Italy.
The equipment enhances manufacturing
efficiencies and contributes to the
environment, through reduction of
landfill and incineration of waste
materials.
With increasing pressure on manufacturing
margins, coupled with rising feedstock
prices processors have difficulty
in passing on, it is vital that material
efficiencies are maximised. We therefore
envisage greater interest in our automated
recycling plants which are now available
with PLC control |
