During the Covid19 disaster, a dedicated industrial piece of land became available and was purchased. Plans were drawn up by architects with input from GMP experts and a team of electrical-, structural- and civil engineers to design an ISO 8 HVAC, PIC/S facility. These plans were submitted to City Council of Tshwane and was finally approved in June 2022.
The ground-breaking event took place when the turf was literally turned on 1st July 2022 – this was the launch of the constructing the new facility. According to plan, this facility will come operational in April 2023.
Today, this family business includes Johann and Lienta’s children, Cara (Cosmetic Scientist), Nicoli (Responsible Pharmacist) and Cornell (Goods Receiving expert). Together with Lizette Visser (Production Manager and pharmaceutical manufacturing specialist), Dr Denise Oliver (Quality Assurance Manager, specializing in plant chemistry) and Ulandi O’Neill (Administration and Financial Specialist) we form a strong, highly skilled management team, able to lead Sastel with about 60 employees and the new facility to new heights into the future.
