Speedmark Polymers was established in 2011, initially focused on FRP and thermoplastic repairs and maintenance. During 2012 Speedmark acquired the industrial manufacturing unit of Amitech South Africa, a subsidiary of the Saudi-Arabian based Amiantit. The acquired pieces of plant and equipment include a large diameter filament winder (150mm to 5 500mm) and a double axel pipe winder (25mm to 300mm), allowing Speedmark to become a niche manufacturer of FRP composite equipment. Our company has since shown significant growth and we have either directly or as subcontractors delivered components and field services to some of South Africa’s foremost companies, including AngloGold Ashanti, Omnia, Amplats, Impala Platinum, Sasol, Eskom, Plascon and AECI.
Speedmark, acting as local contractor for Turkey’s Aşut’ Fiberglass is also responsible for all on-site manufacturing and installation activities relating to the FRP spray banks and process piping for the flue gas desulphurisation plant at Eskom’s new Kusile power station.
Speedmark’s vision is to become the pre-eminent supplier of technologically advanced FRP solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa.
