Invest Durban delivers a world-class Metro based investor support serviceInvest Durban Invest Durban delivers a world-class Metro based investor support serviceInvest Durban was recommended by the Durban City Council and organised private business as the First Stop Shop to stimulate new investment in the Durban metropolis. We act as a partnership between the Metro City Council and the private business sector, offering a free investor advisory service, plus key promotion, facilitation, and aftercare services between all investment stakeholders. Invest Durban delivers a world-class Metro based investor support service, encompassing our four part business mandate, namely investment promotion and marketing; foreign investment identification, attraction and facilitation; FDI aftercare and expansion, plus investment advocacy. Invest Durban works together with organisations such as the Department of Trade & Industry including Invest SA, Trade and Investment KZN (TIKZN), the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the KZN Growth Coalition, and State-Owned Enterprises such as Dube TradePort, the DBSA, IDC, Eskom, ACSA and others. Categories The thrust of Durban’s proposition to attract investors can be put into three broad categories: • Premium Destination; a business and lifestyle environment most conducive to profitable, sustainable, with ample land available • Catalytic Projects, which have the potential to shift the socio-economic landscape and trigger a series of investments across several sectors • Priority Sectors, which receive the focus of planners in a variety of ways, including the creation of clusters and the development of value chains to promote new ventures and investment opportunities. Catalytic Projects Durban is working on a number of large-scale projects that have the potential to make a regional impact. The location of these projects is vital. They must either be on national trade routes or they should help to break down the old apartheid living/working dynamics. Projects are selected for their scale in terms of job creation, investment size and potential revenue creation. Ideally, the projects should include a combination of uses (retail, commercial and housing, for example) and they should fit in with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Point Waterfront Development, for example, fits very well into the category of a catalytic project. Some projections put the potential investment value at R40-billion and the number of permanent jobs to be created at 6 750. It is an ambitious plan that is already linking the city’s beach promenade and the harbour. The Point Waterfront Development offers a property use mix of office space, retail shops, residential dwellings and leisure options. The 55 ha site has already seen significant investment. The new cruise line terminal in the harbour, backing on to the Point, dovetails well with the new atmosphere of the precinct. Other major projects, amongst others, include the: • GO!Durban Transport Oriented Development, which has already received major road upgrades and will be an even greater enabler of trade • Centrum Government Precinct which would formalise the relationship between buildings such as the International Convention Centre (and extensions) and a related hotel, the library, council chambers and the redevelopment of Gugu Dlamini Park • Cornubia integrated human settlement development north of Durban, on 1 300 ha, a partnership between Tongaat Hulett Development, the human settlement departments at national and provincial level and eThekwini municipality • Dube TradePort, the multi-modal facility at King Shaka International Airport Cluster Initiatives Durban has a very diverse economic landscape, within which there are some large-scale enterprises. Cooperation between the public and private sectors is formalised by the large number of cluster initiatives which aim to draw to together experience and expertise from commerce and industry, labour organisations, government and academia. Under manufacturing, the following clusters or programmes are active: • KZN Clothing and Textile Cluster (KZN CTC) • Durban Automotive Cluster (DAC) • Durban Chemical Cluster (DCC) • eThekwini Maritime Cluster (EMC) • KZN Furniture Incubator • Agro-processing development programmes Research aims to find out how best to grow particular economic sectors, and in-depth discussions are held about how to develop and grow value chains. The wealth of KwaZulu-Natal is mostly consumed or exported in its raw state - much more could be done to add value through processing. The priority sectors are: • Automotive and allied industries • Logistics and logistics management • ICT and BPS (Information & communication’s technology, plus business process services) • Agri-processing • Life sciences (including pharmaceuticals, medical device manufacturing, plus health facilities) • Tourism asset development Some of these initiatives play to the existing strengths of the regional economy, some seek to exploit newer avenues as in the emphasis on the environment and a growing interest in the oceans’ economy. A variety of projects link tourism, renewable energy generation, recycling and job creation. There are various other broader programmes which have their own goals, but there will be positive spin- offs for the targeted sectors. These schemes include the drive to increase local content, boosting metal fabrication across sectors, the promotion of black industrialists, promoting exports and the over- arching eThekwini Industrial Development Policy Action Plan.

Hannah Grace is a proudly South African online business that serves expectant and new mothers of South Africa with maternity and breastfeeding friendly clothingHannah Grace Hannah Grace is a proudly South African online business that serves expectant and new mothers of South Africa with maternity and breastfeeding friendly clothingHannah Grace is a proudly South African online business that serves expectant and new mothers of South Africa with maternity and breastfeeding friendly clothing. The company was established in 2014 and is based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. Lyndall Moodley, the company founder, is a marketing and business information systems honours graduate and also a mother of four children. She was inspired to start Hannah Grace based on her own experience and perceived lack of innovation and diversity in maternity wear available in South Africa. She commented, “Hannah in the Bible was a woman who yearned to have a baby of her own and was driven by faith to dare believe she would have one. My journey has been founded in a similar faith and what started as a goal to own my time, has grown into a vision to build a legacy for my children, employees and their children.” Lyndall is an active participant in the day-to-day operational activities of the business. This involvement, she says, “Allows for a hands-on approach to managing the operations of the business to observe areas of strength and weakness, and we can therefore adjust operational activities accordingly.” In-house Operations The company initially focused on designing its clothing range, with manufacturing fulfilled by a third party Cut Make and Trim (CMT) in the Durban area. At inception, the company serviced 28 Kids Emporium Stores nationally on consignment. In 2016 a website was developed on a WIX (self-build) website platform. By 2017 the company employed its first operations manager to manage the despatch and manufacture of the stock required. Hannah Grace then listed on Takealot and Zando. In 2019 the WIX platform could not sustain the website traffic and the company’s first contracted web developer was brought on board. In addition, the company took the opportunity to rebrand and develop a new logo. In 2020 instability in its supply chain, as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, resulted in the company moving manufacturing from the third party to its own in-house operations. Although this was a daunting task in the face of the added pressures related to Covid-19, the company invested in securing manufacturing floor space, additional staff and equipment. The first official factory premises were rented in Berea Road with two machinists and production commenced. “Every garment is sampled by myself or a team member before production to make sure that its ideal for both pregnancy and after. If you meet me personally there is a very high possibility that I would be wearing my own garment,” explained Lyndall. Hannah Grace now employs six fulltime factory staff, two contracted staff and three admin staff. The company grew so much that it had to move to its current premises on Station Road (The Design Hub) in 2021. Diversification and Flexibility The move to in-house manufacturing has provided a platform for diversification in the product lines and target market, as well as allowing more flexibility to scale production up or down based on the sporadic nature of online sales. In addition, in-house manufacturing allows for: • Faster turnaround time • Flexibility to meet consumer specific needs in terms of measurements • Lower cost • Better manufacturing control New Growth Opportunities The business now has two capsules, one the e-commerce platforms and two the manufacturing arm. The new capacity also presented new growth opportunities for existing staff who needed to upskill and take on additional responsibilities. The manufacturing capability has allowed Hannah Grace to also take on promotional work. The growth in capacity will also allow the company to stretch into babywear, linen and even men’s wear. Digital Space The online channel provides access to anywhere, anytime shopping through the Hannah Grace website http://www.hannahgrace.co.za, and through e-commerce platforms like Takealot and Zando. “We have also launched our own app available for download on the Istore and Playstore. We are proud to say that we are the first maternity brand to be pioneering the way in this new digital space and we look forward to continuing in pushing the boundaries,” added Lyndall. Hannah Grace currently enjoys 18,000 Facebook followers and 16,2k on Instagram. Social Responsibility Hannah Grace is a member of Embrace… The Movement for Mothers In SA. The company also actively supports the Flourish Brand, which has been established to support disadvantaged black and coloured mothers with antenatal and postnatal support.

The company was established in 2014 and is based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. Lyndall Moodley, the company founder, is a marketing and business information systems honours graduate and also a mother of four children. She was inspired to start Hannah Grace based on her own experience and perceived lack of innovation and diversity in maternity wear available in South Africa. She commented, “Hannah in the Bible was a woman who yearned to have a baby of her own and was driven by faith to dare believe she would have one. My journey has been founded in a similar faith and what started as a goal to own my time, has grown into a vision to build a legacy for my children, employees and their children.” Lyndall is an active participant in the day-to-day operational activities of the business. This involvement, she says, “Allows for a hands-on approach to managing the operations of the business to observe areas of strength and weakness, and we can therefore adjust operational activities accordingly.” In-house Operations The company initially focused on designing its clothing range, with manufacturing fulfilled by a third party Cut Make and Trim (CMT) in the Durban area. At inception, the company serviced 28 Kids Emporium Stores nationally on consignment. In 2016 a website was developed on a WIX (self-build) website platform. By 2017 the company employed its first operations manager to manage the despatch and manufacture of the stock required. Hannah Grace then listed on Takealot and Zando. In 2019 the WIX platform could not sustain the website traffic and the company’s first contracted web developer was brought on board. In addition, the company took the opportunity to rebrand and develop a new logo. In 2020 instability in its supply chain, as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, resulted in the company moving manufacturing from the third party to its own in-house operations. Although this was a daunting task in the face of the added pressures related to Covid-19, the company invested in securing manufacturing floor space, additional staff and equipment. The first official factory premises were rented in Berea Road with two machinists and production commenced. “Every garment is sampled by myself or a team member before production to make sure that its ideal for both pregnancy and after. If you meet me personally there is a very high possibility that I would be wearing my own garment,” explained Lyndall. Hannah Grace now employs six fulltime factory staff, two contracted staff and three admin staff. The company grew so much that it had to move to its current premises on Station Road (The Design Hub) in 2021. Diversification and Flexibility The move to in-house manufacturing has provided a platform for diversification in the product lines and target market, as well as allowing more flexibility to scale production up or down based on the sporadic nature of online sales. In addition, in-house manufacturing allows for: • Faster turnaround time • Flexibility to meet consumer specific needs in terms of measurements • Lower cost • Better manufacturing control New Growth Opportunities The business now has two capsules, one the e-commerce platforms and two the manufacturing arm. The new capacity also presented new growth opportunities for existing staff who needed to upskill and take on additional responsibilities. The manufacturing capability has allowed Hannah Grace to also take on promotional work. The growth in capacity will also allow the company to stretch into babywear, linen and even men’s wear. Digital Space The online channel provides access to anywhere, anytime shopping through the Hannah Grace website http://www.hannahgrace.co.za , and through e-commerce platforms like Takealot and Zando. “We have also launched our own app available for download on the Istore and Playstore. We are proud to say that we are the first maternity brand to be pioneering the way in this new digital space and we look forward to continuing in pushing the boundaries,” added Lyndall. Hannah Grace currently enjoys 18,000 Facebook followers and 16,2k on Instagram. Social Responsibility Hannah Grace is a member of Embrace… The Movement for Mothers In SA. The company also actively supports the Flourish Brand, which has been established to support disadvantaged black and coloured mothers with antenatal and postnatal support. They do so by sponsoring one mother every six weeks on the Flourish journey.

Currently, the company employs thousands of employees. They are extremely proud to report that 95% of its team comprises previously disadvantaged individualsMangwanani – the African Spa – came into existence in 2002, when Erin Limbert, Mangwanani’s dynamic CEO, first set in motion her dream of creating a retreat where people could experience true head-to-toe indulgence. Coupling the ethos of revitalisation with an African inspiration presented an initial challenge, because of the uniqueness of this concept. However, one of Mangwanani’s primary focuses is to uplift rural women, which ties in with the African spirit that drives Mangwanani. More than just employing rural women, Mangwanani also uplifts communities by providing on the job training to produce some of the finest qualified therapists available. These women are able to completely change their lives with a ‘hand up’ instead of a ‘hand out’. The premise is that ‘when you educate women, you educate a nation’.

RESPONSIBLY SOURCED This new technology product is made in Germany and bottled locally. It has unique properties, namely: it kills viruses, bacteria, fungi and some parasites. It is very safe and has no known side-effects.Quantum SilverRESPONSIBLY SOURCED This new technology product is made in Germany and bottled locally. It has unique properties, namely: it kills viruses, bacteria, fungi and some parasites. It is very safe and has no known side-effects.Quantum.Silver® (Q.S) is a solution of Quantum.Silver complex particles. The Nano Silver Complex is produced in Germany, making use of the Quantum Dot technology. During this process, every Silver atom is attached to a molecule. The Silver is less than 20nm in size. The consistent small size of each silver particle gives the Quantum Silver Complex unique characteristics and makes it highly effective against micro-organisms. At the same time, the Nano size also ensures speedy uptake of the Quantum.Silver once ingested, it is spread via the blood stream throughout the body and is again excreted mainly via the liver and bile within 24hrs. For this reason it is extremely safe as it does not accumulate in the body. Nano Silver (Quantum.Silver) has been widely researched in many countries over the past 10 years or more. Some medical researchers have focused on specific diseases, whereas others have looked at a more general application of the Nano Silver particles in medicine. The exact mechanism of action, bio-safety and effectiveness has been well documented by many medical research facilities across the globe.www.q-health.co.za 1B Glenart Rd, Kloof, KZN, 3610 T: +27 63 898 1085 info@q-health.co.zawww.q-health.co.za 1B Glenart Rd, Kloof, KZN, 3610 T: +27 63 898 1085 info@q-health.co.za Up Back to Top Business Leaders Home Add Your Business Up Home About Us KZN Business Chambers Rewards Partners Editors NOTE KZN Top Business - Publishers notes - KZN Top Business Leaders - Launch 2024 Menu KZN Business Leaders Business Women Fyonn Kane Collection 2019 2022 Supertech Collection Top Business Women 2024 VIP Invite Awards Nominate TBW 2024 KZN Business Gurus News Bookshelf Shop On-line Events Contact The Team Top Business Portfolio www.q-health.co.za 1B Glenart Rd, Kloof, KZN, 3610 T: +27 63 898 1085 info@q-health.co.za Quantum.Silver® (Q.S) is a solution of Quantum.Silver complex particles.

At the helm of Argento is the passionate and tenacious co-founder, Joudalle Govender who works alongside her husband TK Govender (founder and operational director). The couple are breaking boundaries in the local clothing and textile sector and take immense pride in their predominantly woman-managed and owned team, a diverse group of dedicated individuals who work passionately to bring their vision to life. As a leading CMT factory specialising in manufacturing corporate and fashion apparel, the company’s commitment to excellence, social responsibility, and empowerment sets them apart in the industry. Growth and Development Established with a vision for growth and community impact, Argento Trading 117cc is a proudly South African business that holds a unique position in the apparel industry. In addition to their expertise in manufacturing corporate and fashion apparel, they have taken strides to further enhance their vertical integration by establishing their own mill factory. The mill house factory is a partnership that plays a vital role in their commitment to producing high- quality garments. With state-of-the-art equipment and skilled technicians, they are able to produce their own premium cotton fabric. This vertical integration not only ensures the superior quality of their products but also allows them to have greater control over the entire production process, from raw material to the finished garment. Argento Trading 117cc takes great pride in contributing to the growth and development of the local textile and apparel industry. By producing their cotton locally, they support the local economy and create job opportunities for talented individuals in their region. Moreover, this approach aligns perfectly with their core values of empowerment and social responsibility, as they actively invest in the well-being of their community. Core Values Their journey towards becoming a leader in the industry has been driven by the dedication of their pre- dominantly woman-managed and owned team. Under Joudalle’s visionary leadership, Argento Trading, has evolved into a thriving company with a predominantly female workforce of 70 employees. Joudalle has been the driving force behind Argento Trading’s success, consistently upholding the company’s core values of excellence, empowerment, inclusivity, social responsibility, and integrity. One of her most significant achievements, she believes, is fostering a culture of stability within her company, where inclusivity and collaboration are the driving forces. “It’s no easy feat when you have to get 70 ladies to all be in agreement at any one time,” says Joudalle. This dedication to creating a harmonious and empowering workplace has led Argento Trading to be recognised as the fastest-growing small medium enterprise through the SME Accelerator programme in 2023. However, Joudalle says that her biggest achievement, and Argento’s as well, has been opening a training school for 18 young women from rural areas. She commented, ‘I think the training school was a highlight for me as a leader, which goes far beyond just monetary value, as leaving a legacy behind is important.” Primary Audiences Argento Trading 117cc products cater for two primary audiences: • Corporate Clients: This includes businesses, organisations, and institutes seeking high-quality and customised corporate apparel for their staff. • Fashion Brands: They partner with fashion brands looking for a reliable manufacturing partner to bring their brands to life with precision and finesse.

LHL Engineering’s vision is to be ‘the-go-to engineering team’ known for outstanding quality, safety, customer service and valueLHL EngineeringLHL Engineering’s vision is to be ‘the-go-to engineering team’ known for outstanding quality, safety, customer service and valueLHL Engineering’s vision is to be ‘the-go-to engineering team’ known for outstanding quality, safety, customer service and value. LHL has its roots dating back to 1969 when the company was started to support the German- imported LHL axel. LHL was taken over by CEO Nelson Govender in 2015, who made a significant investment ensuring that the company was well capitalised and resourced. LHL has a strong track record in the metals and engineering industry with the past 50 years seeing the company grow to become a future-facing global player, adding strategic value to local and international brands, across South African and global markets. LHL is a specialist fabricator and installer of tanks; pressure vessels; heat exchangers (manufacture and refurbish); reactors; piping; structural steel and general steel component manufacture. Project based teams are available on call for site-based maintenance and installation work. As a 100% black-owned enterprise with a Level 1 BBBEE status with a 40% black female and 30% youth ownership the business is growing from strength to strength. The recently acquired >5 000m² under cover facility in Glen Anil, Durban (with 6 bays, 13 Over head cranes, 6 of which have a 10t capacity and 11m under hook height), is well positioned to deliver on all your fabrication requirements. The 1500m² facility in Atlantis, Cape Town is adequately equipped for current needs. Both workshops are being fitted with new equipment to facilitate LHL’s growth plans with finalisation expected next year. Technology will play a critical role in positioning the company as relevant and ensuring it is able to compete with established larger players well into the future. Consequently, all new machinery and equipment, comprising robotics, 4IR, CNC and green technology, will have the aim of differentiating LHL’s offerings as unique. Based on the changes made in the past year, LHL has been able to acquire new clients, treble its turnover and improve on workload consistency. This workload includes long term contracts, with one client who owns specialist intellectual property closing his facility and contracting LHL to be the fabrication facility. This client has enjoyed increased volumes, lower costs, improved lead times, improved quality and various other benefits that were not envisaged at the beginning. Future growth plans for LHL include becoming a leading player in the metals and engineering industry by applying a 4-Pillar platform entailing financial resources, industry knowledge, customer trust and agility, to successfully drive product sales internationally. Target markets include sugar, chemical, pharmaceutical, petro-chemical, oil and gas, pulp and paper, water and sanitation, transport, and food and beverage industries in both the public and private sector. Past projects have been completed at SAPREF, ASTRON, Illovo Sugar, SI Group, Buckman Laboratory, Sappi Saiccor, Tongaat Hulett, Mondi, Engen and YARA Animal Foods. LHL Engineering has successfully exported pressure vessels and other equipment including complete plants to Australia, the Far East, Zambia, Angola, Tanzania, Mauritius, Seychelles, the Comores Islands, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana, amongst others. LHL Engineering was selected to be part of the KZN Localization, Import Replacement and Enterprise Development programme which commenced in November 2021. Through the programme, initiatives such as improved factory layout, production efficiencies, workflow methodologies, quality control measures, staff training have been implemented. In addition, new products have been launched to a competitive and demanding market. In order to satisfy the market demand, LHL, with a group of companies, have adopted a co-operative cluster approach to provide a one-stop facility that boosts their overall competitive advantages, which is progressing well. The cluster creates an interdependent and mutually beneficial relationship with shared services, including state of the art equipment supplied and maintained by strategic partners. The increased workload consistency has led to increased employment opportunities. As such LHL’s permanent workforce has increased by 40% with contracted project workers increasing substantially. In addition, a new PR Engineer has been employed to improve design capabilities and client confidence. LHL is looking to partner with a small number of key clients as their manufacturing expert. This strategy will reduce the effect of project reliance, which is very erratic, with major impact on planning and cashflows. Together with an impressive array of machinery and production facilities at its disposal and through its cluster partners, LHL has become a market leader with the flexibility, industry accreditation (ISO9001/2015, ISO45001, ISO3834, ASME V111 APP10), skills and knowledge to supply a wide range of products and services to satisfy market demand for different sectors.Full Name of Company: LHL Engineering (Natal) (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Steel Fabrication, Installation and Engineering Services / Products: Economisers; Austenitic S/S Storage Tanks; Process Reactors; Second Effect Evaporators; Demountable S/S Tanks; Pressure Vessels; Heat Exchangers; S/S Storage Silos; Carbon Steel Tanks; Evaporators & Oxiders; and Full Chemical Plants Date Established: 1969 Customer Base: Sugar, chemical, pharmaceutical, petro- chemical, paper and pulp, water and sanitation, transport, food and allied industries; sugar mills and breweries.

Based on the changes made in the past year, LHL has been able to acquire new clients, treble its turnover and improve on workload consistency. This workload includes long term contracts, with one client who owns specialist intellectual property closing his facility and contracting LHL to be the fabrication facility. This client has enjoyed increased volumes, lower costs, improved lead times, improved quality and various other benefits that were not envisaged at the beginning. Future growth plans for LHL include becoming a leading player in the metals and engineering industry by applying a 4-Pillar platform entailing financial resources, industry knowledge, customer trust and agility, to successfully drive product sales internationally. Target markets include sugar, chemical, pharmaceutical, petro-chemical, oil and gas, pulp and paper, water and sanitation, transport, and food and beverage industries in both the public and private sector. Past projects have been completed at SAPREF, ASTRON, Illovo Sugar, SI Group, Buckman Laboratory, Sappi Saiccor, Tongaat Hulett, Mondi, Engen and YARA Animal Foods. LHL Engineering has successfully exported pressure vessels and other equipment including complete plants to Australia, the Far East, Zambia, Angola, Tanzania, Mauritius, Seychelles, the Comores Islands, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana, amongst others. LHL Engineering was selected to be part of the KZN Localization, Import Replacement and Enterprise Development programme which commenced in November 2021. Through the programme, initiatives such as improved factory layout, production efficiencies, workflow methodologies, quality control measures, staff training have been implemented. In addition, new products have been launched to a competitive and demanding market. In order to satisfy the market demand, LHL, with a group of companies, have adopted a co-operative cluster approach to provide a one-stop facility that boosts their overall competitive advantages, which is progressing well. The cluster creates an interdependent and mutually beneficial relationship with shared services, including state of the art equipment supplied and maintained by strategic partners. The increased workload consistency has led to increased employment opportunities. As such LHL’s permanent workforce has increased by 40% with contracted project workers increasing substantially. In addition, a new PR Engineer has been employed to improve design capabilities and client confidence. LHL is looking to partner with a small number of key clients as their manufacturing expert. This strategy will reduce the effect of project reliance, which is very erratic, with major impact on planning and cashflows. Together with an impressive array of machinery and production facilities at its disposal and through its cluster partners, LHL has become a market leader with the flexibility, industry accreditation (ISO9001/2015, ISO45001, ISO3834, ASME V111 APP10), skills and knowledge to supply a wide range of products and services to satisfy market demand for different sectors.
