T
he future vision of Ters
Pretorius to expand the
trademark on a country-wide
basis, resulted in the establishment
of satellite plants (or factories)
in partnership with the Botha
family from Vissersdam, district
Trompsburg during 2012, and the
Van Zyl Family Trust from Thuso
Mills, Bothaville during 2014.
Johan Botha is the director of the
Trompsburg plant and Thabo van
Zyl the director of the Thuso Feed
Mill.
The plant at Trompsburg
specialises in the blending of sheep
products, but it can also manufacture licks, and the two plants in
Heilbron, as well as the plant in
Bothaville, are multi-specie mills,
which can also manufacture licks
on a separate basis.
It makes it possible to distribute
the Telwiedré product as far as the
Eastern Cape, Northwest, Free
State, Gauteng, parts of Limpopo
and KZN.
Marketers are active in all the
regions and are rendering service and advice to existing and
potential customers. Telwiedré
makes use of the best animal feed
experts in the world to support the
marketers in their duties.
Telwiedré Voere is accredited
with and is regularly audited by
Dekra ISO9001:2008; AFMA Safe
Feed for Safe Food, as well as AfriCompliance, who are specialists
in Africa in respect of the management of risks and compliance
with legislative requirements in
the animal feed industry. This is to
ensure that the management and
quality systems of Telwiedré Voere
will continue to be of a world
standard.
The three directors (owners) of
the different plants are all active
farmers, which means that they
have empathy with the situation of
producers. Due to the recent and
continuing drought country-wide,
they do everything in their power
to assist producers. Proof of their
support is the drought aid and
promotions (special discounts), offered at the end of December 2015
and which still apply in respect of
certain products via co-operatives
or retail outlets.
Please contact the primary
plant at Heilbron at 058
8522742 for more
information.
