About
Incorporated in 2005, Indocraft (Pty) Ltd had initially operated as a manufacturing concern. The company is synonymous with quality and its operations reflects professionalism and delivery on customer expectations. Rapid expansion of our order book resulted in Indocraft Creations acquiring a 1,200m2 manufacturing facility which was modernised with the latest manufacturing machinery to ensure that we remain at the cutting-edge of industry developments.
In 2018, a strategic decision was made to change the core operations from manufacturing to services based, focusing on Project Management, skills development and training, and event management.
Indocraft is accredited with a level 1 BBBEE rating. The business is 100% black owned and operated.
We continue to develop the skill levels of previously disadvantaged individuals.
