WATERLINX ( PTY) LTD GERMISTON

This enabled it to realize its common strategy and vision, which was to acquire certain key similar sized wholesalers throughout South Africa and merge them into a combined business operating as a national distributor with a broad range of products with key supply arrangements. Another progressive step was successfully concluded when the group acquired Quality Pump & Pipe Fittings in 2002 and that stage introduced Investec Bank Limited as a private equity participant. The name WaterLinx was born out of a sense of unifying the businesses duly acquired or started and necessitated when entering the international market further as the name Waterlines conflicted in certain areas.
