Int r o du c t i o n
Isivuno Container Business CC (“Isivuno Containers”) was established in 2005
and is the only African Female run and owned container conversion company
in South Africa. Ms. Bev Gumbi-Ngcongwane is the founder and Managing
Member of Isivuno Containers. She identified a niche in the market for the use of
refurbished container units, where the strength of shipping containers is exploited
and the life of these containers is prolonged through their conversion into various
solutions for space with respect to but not limited to businesses, accommodation,
and sanitation.
The
company’s
core business is
converting
these
shipping containers
into units as per our
clients’ needs at
an affordable price.
The company has
grown tremendously
from its early days
where a majority of the equipment was rented, to now where it owns all of
its equipment, and tools. Isivuno Container Business prides itself in always
having had a fully-skilled staff compliment, as quality has never at any point
been compromised. The company’s business activities have further grown into
container deliveries through the addition of our logistics unit, TBN Logistics in
2013.
We are a proactive company, promoting continual improvement, perpetually
seeking the added value and competitive edge in all our offerings and services.
