Company Background
 

 
Fiber Thatch
 has been developed by Jan Grobler.

In 1979 after informally trading for 5 years, Jan Grobler established Redruth Thatching cc.

In the same year “Macs Thatching” was obtained and our humble growth started. In 1990 we obtained “Laeveld Grasdakke” and a year later “Moderne Thatching”.

Demand for our products started growing from abroad, and it was decided to develop a product range specifically for export purposes. From this, Africa Roofing cc. was born !
 


 

The "Captain of the Ship"



Jan Grobler,
founder and managing director of the group of companies, is actively involved in our international marketing.  Miriam Grobler is managing member of the close corporation.
 
Jan is a family man and his family values are reflected in his business values.
 
Jan has been involved in the thatching and related field for 35 years. He saw the need for synthetic thatch and used his experience to develop Fiber Thatch.

 


 

The Fiber Roofing A Team

 
Fiber Thatch particles has been used since 2001 in our synthetic thatch systems. Fibre Trade in Natal was our the preferred supplier of the extruded material.

In December 2006 Fiber Roofing cc took over the extrusion form Fibre Trade under their guidance. The machines and some key personal were relocated to Klipriver Gauteng near Johannesburg.

The A Team was formed and charged with the task involving the extrusion, manufacturing, marketing and exporting of the Fiber Roofing synthetic thatch systems.
 
Each member on the A team is an expert in their individual fields and the team effort has launched and is propelling Fiber Roofing cc on the current path of success and growth.
