The Protea Assurance

These ideals are reflected in our claim to provide – Innovative Engineering Solutions, indicating that we focus on fulfilling all aspects of our customers’ equipment needs over the long term with exceptional service and support.
We intend to continue to earn that reputation and protect the value of our business through our commitment to provide quality products, services and superior value to our customers.
Social Responsibility
The importance we place on CSR is demonstrated by the fact that it is a pillar of our business strategy. Alongside this, growth and productivity will always remain key to the success of our business.
Accepting corporate social and environmental responsibilities as well as giving back to the community, makes good business sense to us at Protea Engineering. Businesses cannot always deliver every solution and companies can rarely act alone. Partnerships are vital, and therefore we work closely with our community organisations. Our vision is to adopt and support local development programmes based in the Valley of 1000 Hills and in the process empower and uplift our young and “not so young”.
Protea Engineering supports 1000 Hills Community Helpers as well as many other charities throughout the year.
".... growth and productivity will always remain key to the success of our business."
