Frost International Celebrates 48 Years of Opening Doors
Frost International has evolved over the years to become a leading specialist contractor in Entrance and Security Solutions throughout the Sub Saharan African region .
In January 1970 , Hugh ( Jack ) Frost opened Jack Frost Cape Town Pty LTD , the first suspended ceiling company in the Western Cape , in a garage in Maitland . Included in their offering were ceilings , drywall and demountable partitioning and later additions included access flooring , EIFS wall cladding , acoustic operable walls , roofing and internal refurbishment subcontracting , and the now well established partnership with Boon Edam and their revolving door products .
In 1999 , the company started trading as Frost International and became known as a ‘ specialist contractor ’ as it moved out of the ceiling and partitioning business to focus on Entrance Solutions . The distribution agreement with Boon Edam grew from strength to strength after the initial contact in 1992 , with Frost being one of the top 3 world-wide distributors for many years , and is now one of the longest established distributors for Boon Edam , looking after the Sub Saharan African region .
In 2004 , Frost International launched the Frost Automatic , the only South African designed , developed and manu-factured automatic sliding door operator in the market . Creating local employment and opportunities is a cause that CEO , Mike Frost , is passionate about and the company looks to assist NGO ’ s especially in the Vrygrond / Capricorn area . A full range of automatic doors , from revolving to standard automatic sliding , telescopic configuration and auto swing door operators is available .
Situated in Capricorn Business Park outside Cape Town and with regional offices in Gauteng , Frost International is able to service the two main hubs in South Africa with ease , as well as being able to move quickly to other regions .
One of the products that the Frost team kept on board is the Hufcor Acoustic Operable Wall product . Manufactured by Ifuba in KZN , Frost International is their sole distributor and installation company in the Western & Southern Cape region , reaching up as far as Port Elizabeth .
As Boon Edam expanded its product range to include high end , high security doors , so Frost entered the Security Solutions market , backed up by the high quality of Dutch engineering . This includes the Boon Edam Speedlanes - waist high security pedestrian lanes .
“ There are various configurations to choose from in this range to ensure we are capable of addressing any clients ’ requirements ,” commented Commercial Manager , Graeme Stevens . “ We have a Security Solution for many different requirements , from high level high security for corporate applications , to high level turnstiles for more industrial solutions , as well as a range of waist high solutions in varying budgets to accommodate various applications , he said .”
The Frost International team has the technical experience and knowledge for any Entrance and Security solution and consider themselves as experts in the industry .
