Founded over four decades ago, Canvas and Tent is a global leader in the manufacture of canvas and polyvinyl chloride-related products. The company’s client base comprises local and international military, humanitarian, mining and construction organisations.
The company is a preferred supplier to the United Nations (UN) and other nongovernmental organisations, having registered with many of the UN’s divisions such as the World Health Organisation, the United Nations Children’s Fund and the United Nations Development Programme, to name but a few.
All Canvas and Tent products are South African Bureau of Standards ISO 9001:2008-accredited, attesting to the company’s commitment to full customer satisfaction. Canvas and Tent is currently working towards ISO 14000 certification, and is proud to announce it has passed its first audit.
In striving for maximum customer satisfaction and to meet ever- increasing demand, Canvas and Tent has extended its factory area to 22 500 m2 and currently has a skilled workforce of 450 staff.
Canvas and Tent is proudly the first company in Africa to implement the Eton system in its factory. This system has revolutionised the manufacturing of canvas products. It will improve quality through hanging production, shorter throughput times, less work in progress and an overall better overview and organisation of production. With this system, which provides real time data collection and information, the production team can attend to and bridge gaps in production immediately.
