Lube Force Traders CC

1039 Treurnich Street, Rayton, 1001 | 012 734 45332 Contact Nicolette Van Dyk | 082 775 2875 | nic@lubeforce.co.za

Lube Force Traders CC was established in 1998, in Rayton, East of Pretoria. The current directors, Nic Janse van Rensburg and Jurie van Dyk joined in 2000. Lube Force initially belonged to Oom Nic’s brother in law and when he and Jurie joined it was at a point of bankruptcy and the pair worked tirelessly to implement the turnaround strategy of the company. Oom Nic has a B.Comm degree obtained from the then Potchefstroom University and started his career as a cashier and then admin clerk at the Rustenburg Municipality. Following that he worked as a Trainee Mine Secretary and then a fully fledged Mine Secretary at various mines under Impala Platinum and General Mining. He then moved to Conway Johnson where he worked in various commercial roles until he became a Financial Manager before he chose the path of self-employment and later joined Lube Force in November 2000. Jurie did military service after he matriculated and was with the SANDF for 3 years before he joined ABSA Bank. He spent 17 years at the bank until his appointment as Sales Manager. In December 2000 he and his wife Nicolette (Oom Nic’s daughter) joined Lube Force. Oom Nic and Jurie decided to buy over the company when the initial Directors received an offer from an independent person. In the early days, the company focused its efforts on “no name” lubricants; however, the current owners reformulated this strategy and introduced branded products. In 2008, Gerhard Engelbrecht joined Lube Force as a Sales Manager and he introduced Total Lubricants to the company. This resulted in a dramatic change in the financial situation of Lube Force due to a better price structure and availability of stock. The Lube Force team has become an integral partner of TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa and has consistently performed above expectations by being loyal and committed to Total Lubricants. They have won various awards over the past few years and were recognized as the top Distributor in 2019.

We have been helping precision producers with CRITICALLY important and essential Calcium, Magnesium and Sulphur nutrients in easy to handle granules, for more than 7 years. These essential nutrients ensure proper root development, adequate photosyntheses and well being of your crops.

Very important, to remember the “Law of Minimum” that was made famous by a German scientist named Justus von Liebig who said that “when one of the essential plant nutrients is deficient, plant growth will be poor, even when all other essential nutrients are abundant!”.

Essentially, as all high productive producers know, it does not matter if you focus all input costs only into NPK’s, much wastage and a poor crop will result unless you also have the correct balance of other essential Nutrients like Ca, Mg, S and Micronutrients. And, if you have an imbalance or shortage of these components you may well also suffer from a lack of good soil microbes, fungi and carbons which further compound the problems in your soils.

We manufacture a wide range of granules as well as manufacture prescription granulations depending on nutrients required.

We take pride in assisting modern precision farmers increase their crop yields.

AGRI LIME

Agri Lime (Pty) Ltd PO Box 20366, Proteapark, 0305 | 014 536 9900/1/3 Contact Henno Pretorius | 082 552 3882 | henno@agrilime.com | marketing@agrilime.com

Established in 1995, Agri Lime is a strategic supplier of calcitic limestone to the Feedlime and Agricultural limestone markets in Southern Africa.

Agri Lime’s limestone is currently mined, processed and classified near Northam in the Limpopo province, approx. 50 km south of Thabazimbi. The limestone is widely known as Northam calcite. The deposit is unusual and unique in that it is calcitic limestone, not the more prevalent dolomitic limestone commonly occurring in South Africa. It is furthermore a remarkably pure form of calcium carbonate, is soft and readily soluble.

Feed lime is commercially used as a vitamin/ mineral and feed additive carrier. Calcium is an essential element for healthy growth of commercially reared animals. The amorphic crystalline structure of this calcite limestone makes this product highly suitable as a carrier for use in the animal feed industry. Full absorption of calcium is achieved as a result of its soft and soluble characteristics. Agricultural limestone neutralises acid soil and rectifies the pH so that the highest yield can be obtained. Northam calcite enhances the availability of phosphates and prevents molybdenum deficiency. It promotes the activity of earthworms and nitrogen-fixing bacteria as well as the breakdown of organic material that releases nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and micro-elements. It prevents further magnesium build-up in cultivated lands.

Both Feed lime and Agricultural limestone are registered with the Department of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries, under Act no 36 of 1947, respectively as a farm feed and fertilizer .

Packaging available in 50kg bags, 1 ton bulk polypropylene woven bags, bulk loads and bulk tanker.
