Background
Plumbcrazy was started in Cape Town
in 1982. As a retailer Plumbcrazy experienced the frustrations and restrictions of buying
and trading in the monopolistic plumbing industry. Identifying a rather distinct gap in
the market place, the wholesale operation was established to provide a viable alternative
source of supply to independent merchants. The retail operations were closed in 1990 and
all efforts were directed towards sourcing the right product at the right price -
globally.
The wholesale
operation, based on its intimate understanding of the problems experienced by the
retailer, began to import exciting alternative products to locally manufactured goods.
This had the almost immediate effect of putting an end to the annual price hikes of local
suppliers and curbing inflation within the industry sector. This tradition continues today
as retailers continue to welcome the healthy competition promoted by Plumbcrazy's
competitive range of quality products backed by an enviable reputation of service
excellence.
Mission
