Afrivalve achieves level 2 BEE compliance
February 2018
News
Afrivalve, the trading name for eDART Slurry Valves, has announced that it has increased its BEE compliance to level 2.
In order to meet customer requirements, particularly those in the mining sector, eDART has enhanced the participation of two of its senior managers in the company by bringing them in as 51% partners. “The mining sector in particular requires a good compliance level by its suppliers and also look for a 51% ownership to satisfy the Mining Charter objectives,” said Mike Sessions, CEO of eDART.

The two senior managers who now form part of the new vision for Afrivalve and eDART are Jacob Mtolo who is the Afrivalve sales manager for local business and has extensive experience in instrumentation and knowledge of the valve industry, and Mohammed Shaik, the financial manager who has been involved with the company for many years.

“We are very pleased that we have the opportunity to partner with capable managers who can add significant value to our business independently of the BEE factor,” concluded Sessions. “Our new BEE rating will give us direct access to many customers with whom we have previously had to work through third-party companies, which will increase the value we can add to our clients’ businesses and give us the means to grow our company.”
Afrivalve has seen substantial growth in the slurry valve and process sampling business over the last few years. In addition to the eDART slurry control valves and samplers it now offers C-Tech knife gate valves and Redroc pinch valves both of which are manufactured in-house, as well as a complete range of AVI industrial valves.
