A growing partnership
PPC and Mathacs Civils’ relationship began in 2006 when Mr. Azwinndini Mathaulula, owner of Mathacs, first approached PPC to supply him with the quality raw materials he needed to deliver on his commitment to manufacturing high-quality bricks. In a relatively short time of time, this relationship went from a cash-based business to having a standing credit agreement with PPC for hundreds of thousands of rand. PPC recognised Matchac’s potential and partnered with them through PPC’s Enterprise Development Programme, providing the business with a silo valued at over R140 000 for the storage of raw materials and a 5 000-litre water tank.Through this development program, Matchacs ensures that it delivers on it promise of “beyond strength”
