About Us

A little history...

Stretch Tents International is a Manufacturing Company based in Velddrif and is fully B-BEEE Compliant. The Company was started in 2008 in a garage and is currently manufacturing in a 500 sq. meter, under roof, facility, owned and managed by the owner Marion Cole. The facility is built on 3700sqm of ground and the property of the owner.

Our aim was to only manufacture stretch tents for the export market. Our export annual turnover exceeded ZAR3mil. per annum with new clients constantly showing interest in the product. The manufacturing of canvas works for boats and windows has been a constant source of income and it has become necessary to expand into new products.

The acquiring of new equipment and the availability of many job opportunities on the West Coast, coupled with the dire need for employment, has made it possible for the Company to venture into making bulk bags and fish meal bags. The constant inquiries for other manufactured products, is a challenge and we can look forward to a very successful business here in Velddrif.
