2. ABOUT THE COMPANY
CES Supply and Distribution is a 100% Black Empowerment Company .
Founded by its Chief Executive Director Mr Sipho Manana as a co-operative in 2009.
The Company performed a market survey analysis and discovered that the current
supplier’s prices are inflated and above international marketing pricing.
Recognizing that the industry was dominated by European Companies, the merger
committed itself whole-heartedly to Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), to supply high
quality, competitive priced products locally and international Corporate, Government
Departments , Retailers and SMME’s, providing a one-stop shop direct from
Manufacturer’s.
CES Supply and Distribution is currently undergoing BEE Rating
Vision : To be the best Supplier and Distributor in the market we serve.
