| City
Heat Geysers is a home grown South African Company
established against the economic odds of the apartheid system. |
| City
Heat Geysers was founded in 1972 by its Pioneering
Managing Director, the late Mr Appalsamy Naidoo, as an enterprise
aimed at providing hot water geysers to mainly Indian, African and
Coloured Householders who were previously not provided with this essential
service when homes were built by Municipalities in the greater Durban
Region under the former Group Areas act. |
| |
| Today,
City Heat Geysers while
consolidating its headquarters and Factory at Balfour Road in the
light Industrial heartland of Jacobs, in close proximity to the Durban
International Airport, has a strong presence in the market place in
Cape Town in terms of fully fledged office and service and distribution
centre. City Heat Geysers
also has a National network of reliable agents in Port Elizabeth,
East London & George. |
|
| Years
after selecting Cape Town as a growth point, City
Heat Geysers is embarking on a major expansion programme
in anticipation of providing the Cape Town Metro Council with a range
of top-quality hot-water geysers to promote a better quality of life
for hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged people in the peri-urban
and rural areas under the Council's jurisdiction. |
| |
| It
was in the 1970's that City Heat Geysers
had recognised this fundamental household need and went on to service
this neglected market. Within years, hundreds of homes were piped
with hot water for the first time since the major relocation of people
in the 1950's and 1960's. City Heat
Geysers then continued to work among the residents
who were previously denied the hot water facilities and it owes its
success and excellent track record to the countless number of loyal
customers who had supported a Company in the face of stringent competition
from traditionally established and historically advantaged businesses
in the past. |
| |
| City
Heat Geysers were presented with the prestigious International
Standards Organisation (ISO 9002) Award on 24 January 1992, a seal
of trading approval that had catapulted the Company into achieving
and maintaining the highest quality standard and producing quality
household and industrial geysers. |
| |
| Today,
City Heat Geysers has,
not only been awarded the ISO 9002 Quality Assurance award which has
satisfied the world market and international specifications, but it
has, since its inception also been awarded the prestigious SABS award
for both Safety (S) and Performance (A). |
| |
| As a
family owned operation, City Heat Geysers
has provided employment opportunities to almost 50 men and women.
We believe that an expansion in Cape Town consistent with a sound
tender opportunity will result in a firm commitment from City
Heat Geysers to provide employment to more jobless
people in the Cape Town metropolitan, particularly in the depressed
areas of this vast city. |
| |
Ongoing
local and international training of staff has resulted in the upshot
of City Heat Geysers
have developed some innovative projects, particularly versatile geysers
with dual facilities with right/left and floor type installation leeway
which City Heat Geysers
believe would be ideally suited for municipal homes.
Advanced research and technology has made it possible for City
Heat Geysers to roll out new batches of powder coated
geyser units with the outside casing undergoing intensive solid enamel
plating in baking ovens. |
| |
| City
Heat Geysers is proud to be part of the new South
African socio-political landscape and has tremendous confidence in
the turn around of the economy. This is borne by the fact that the
economy has been improving with the recent interest rates plummeting
to the lowest levels in 14 years. We therefore predict a steady rising
sales in homes and further scope for home improvements. |
