Our Story

Plastics For Africa was founded in 1988 by Mario Jacobs as a small garage business with a simple vision: provide quality plastic products backed by honest service and practical advice.

More than three decades later, that vision has grown into a trusted business serving customers across South Africa. Today, Plastics For Africa operates public retail stores in Montague Gardens and George, supported by a national distribution network that allows us to efficiently supply customers throughout the country.

Although the business has grown significantly, our commitment remains the same — offering quality products, competitive pricing, and excellent customer service.
