Supreme Mouldings

What Supreme Mouldings does

Supreme Mouldings (Pty) Ltd is a South African wholesale manufacturer and distributor of frame mouldings, architectural skirtings, wall panels, and décor products, headquartered in Johannesburg and operating for over 40 years. The company serves professional picture framers, interior designers and decorators, contractors and builders, and DIY consumers across the South African market through a B2B wholesale model with direct e-commerce and stockist distribution channels.

The company organizes its offering into four product divisions: Picture Framing (PS, wood, aluminium, and budget Q-range mouldings, Tru Vue glass, mountboards, and accessories), Skirting & Mouldings (HDPS skirting boards, LED-integrated skirting, quarter round and scotia, flooring profiles, architraves, and adhesives), Wall Panels & Ceilings (HDPS, PVC, and acoustic panels with finishing products), and Mirrors & Décor (mirrors, oil and print canvas, framed canvas, framed prints). Its core manufacturing capability is an in-house extrusion process that converts 85-100% recycled polystyrene into high-density mouldings finished with decorative foils, supporting a sustainability and cost-positioned value proposition.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time wholesale unit sales of physical products, priced per length (typically 2700mm or 2900mm) or per panel, with a public pricelist available to registered wholesale customers and dedicated budget-tier (Q Range) and premium-tier (LED skirting, Tru Vue glass) offerings creating tiered margin opportunity. The company markets through its own e-commerce site plus Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, distributes core accessory brands (Tru Vue, STAS, Munken, Alfamachine, Premier Choice, Ultra Mount) under distribution partnerships, and actively recruits new stockists, rounding out a multi-channel trade distribution model concentrated entirely in South Africa.
