Founded in 1981, Safic has grown into a leading, local and proud manufacturer and supplier of cleaning and maintenance chemicals, equipment and consumables. Through our joint venture, ION Exchange Safic, we also offer a comprehensive range of water treatment technologies and specialist product solutions. These offerings support major market sectors across the Southern African region.
From the very beginning, our passion has been driven by a commitment to quality, sustainability and community upliftment. Safic is proud to be the first chemical blending company in South Africa to be certified with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. All our operations are carried out within the globally recognised Responsible Care® framework — a voluntary commitment to an initiative by the chemical industry to continuously improve health, safety and environmental performance. This demonstrates our commitment to the well-being of our customers and the health of the planet, instilling confidence in our dedication to sustainability.
We are equally proud of our people. Safic is home to a unique blend of experienced, long-serving team members and energetic, dynamic professionals who bring fresh perspectives and innovative thinking to our business. This mix of wisdom and vitality helps Safic remain adaptable and forward-thinking while grounded in strong values and deep industry knowledge.
In 2012, we partnered with Cleanfix Cleaning Machines ™ as official distributors of their innovative cleaning equipment range. We also proudly represent other globally recognised brands such as Vikan Cleaning Tools ™ and Tork Hygiene Systems, ensuring our customers have access to world-class cleaning and hygiene solutions.
As we look back on more than forty years of dedicated service, our commitment to community involvement and upliftment remains a core part of who we are. We are proud founding members of SET (Steeledale Electron and Tulisa Park), a local community organisation dedicated to creating cleaner, safer, and more sustainable industrial environments. Through SET, we collaborate with businesses, property owners and stakeholders to ensure that the greater Steeledale area thrives — economically, environmentally, and socially.
At Safic, we live by the philosophy: “LET’S CARE.” This is more than a slogan — it is a call to action. A solemn promise to our customers, our people and our planet.
