For example, instead of using 115 bags of regular 32,5 general-purpose cement you will now only need 98 bags of PPC Surebuild 42,5 N for the same volume of concrete*. This means you can buy less cement or do more on your project. Imagine how much further your vision could go with 15% extra.

THE

TOP500 : SOUTH AFRICA’S BEST MANAGED COMPANIES The conceptualization of Top500: South Africa’s Best Managed Companies arose as a result of the demand for a publication that ranks business in South Africa on the basis of a broad-based set of performance criteria rather than purely quantitative financial data. The result has been to profile leading businesses in terms of global and South African best practice standards that not only excel in their specific sectors but also have strong policies in place for social, empowerment and skills development. www.top500.co.za
