What CGH South Africa does

CGH South Africa (Pty) Ltd is a Krugersdorp-based manufacturer of industrial steel storage tanks, operating as the Southern African entity of the CGH Group. The company designs and fabricates single- and double-skinned tanks for fuel, LPG, industrial chemicals, water, and specialized applications including aviation fuel, AdBlue, ethanol, methanol, bitumen, refrigerants, and data-center backup power. Core products range from 3 m3 to over 100 m3 and are available in aboveground, underground, bundwall, marine-containerized, and mobile configurations, with capacities reaching 100,000 litres for underground fuel units.

The company produces on a Heinrichglück automated production line using submerged arc welding, ISO 8501-1 Sa 2.5 surface preparation, PUR anticorrosion insulation tested at 6 kV, and non-destructive tightness testing. Tanks are manufactured to international and local standards (EN 12285, SANS 10131, SANS 1535, PED 2014/68/EU, AD 2000, ATEX) and are supported by SABS ISO 9001:2015 certification and SABS product marks for both aboveground and underground tanks.

Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales plus optional accessories and monitoring systems. The customer base includes Major Oil Companies and unnamed enterprise accounts across petroleum, ethanol, lubricant, and bioenergy sectors. The company primarily serves South Africa with active expansion into the SADC region (Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Namibia, Mozambique), while leveraging CGH Group affiliates for delivery into Europe, West Africa, and Central America.
