Since 1973 Cemcrete has been passionate about creating handcrafted decorative finishes that transform surfaces. From floors and walls to pools and architectural finishes, quality has always been at the heart of what we do. Not just in the products we manufacture, but in the way we work every day.
Over the past couple of years, we've been busy behind the scenes on a project that most customers will never see, but one that reflects our ongoing commitment to quality, consistency and continuous improvement.
We're proud to share that Cemcrete has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for our Quality Management System.

What is ISO 9001? If you've never heard of ISO 9001 before, you're not alone. ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for quality management. It provides businesses with a structured approach to maintaining quality, improving processes and ensuring customer satisfaction. Achieving certification means that an independent third party has assessed the systems and processes we use throughout our business and verified that they meet internationally recognised quality standards. In simple terms, it confirms that we have robust systems in place to manage quality, monitor performance, identify opportunities for improvement and maintain consistency across our business. |
Why We Pursued Certification
As a family-owned manufacturer, we've spent decades refining our products, improving our formulations and supporting contractors, architects, designers and homeowners across Southern Africa and beyond.

The certification process encouraged us to take a closer look at every part of the business, from manufacturing and product development to customer service, training, documentation and continuous improvement.
It challenged us to ask important questions, review existing processes and ensure we have the right systems in place to support the future growth of the business.
What Does This Mean for Our Customers?

A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
One of the key principles of ISO 9001 is continuous improvement.
Certification is not the end goal. It's an ongoing commitment to regularly reviewing what we do, learning from feedback and finding better ways to serve our customers.
As our products, customers and industry continue to evolve, so too will the way we work.
