Scaw South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Scaw SA) is pleased to announce that its acquisition of Ozz Industries (Pty) Ltd (Ozz) was approved by the South African Competition Authorities and completed on Thursday, 19 June 2008.

With effect from 1 July 2008, the Ozz businesses were divisionalised within Scaw SA and will, henceforth, trade under the Scaw Metals Group brand with their four factory sites being renamed as follows:

• Scaw Metals Group – Boksburg Foundry
• Scaw Metals Group – Dimbaza Foundry
• Scaw Metals Group – Eclipse East Foundry
• Scaw Metals Group – Eclipse West Foundry

Scaw SA is part of the international Scaw Metals Group. Scaw’s operations are housed in two companies, Scaw South Africa (Pty) Ltd, which acquired Ozz, and Scaw International Sarl.

The acquisition of the Ozz group of foundries will expand Scaw’s product range and provide capacity for expansion of certain of Scaw’s existing product lines.

This is an exciting prospect for all concerned and Scaw welcomes its new colleagues from Boksburg, Dimbaza and Eclipse foundries to the Scaw Metals Group.

Norman Mbazima, chief executive officer,
Scaw Metals Group.
Norman says, “We are excited about the acquisition of Ozz Industries which complements and expands Scaw’s range of products, services and expertise. We are looking forward to working with our new team members and forging a successful future together”.
