Our story

From our beginnings in 1993, the Newmantle Family of Companies has been driven by the belief that business can be a force for something greater. Our vision remains steadfast to be grounded in trust, meaningful relationships and a shared purpose to create lasting opportunity.

Over the years, this vision has grown into a diverse and dynamic collective spanning manufacturing, technology, sustainability and property. Today, the family includes the PKG Group’s national manufacturing and supporting operations, the world-class recycling business Reproplast, a portfolio of properties and specialised enterprises such as Shift-ID and Topline Tooling, all strategically aligned to share knowledge, capabilities and experience.

The Newmantle Family of Companies continues to evolve and thrive driven by innovation, cutting-edge technology, sustainability and passionate leadership. Our commitment extends beyond our companies into the way we partner with and serve our stakeholders, locally and internationally, as we work to create enduring value and a positive legacy for the future.

Our foundations

While each company in the Newmantle Family has its own focus, they are united by a shared way of thinking. Our alignment in purpose and principles is what allows the collective to stay strong, adaptable and built for the long term. The four pillars that guide us:

Sustainability

Building responsibly today so our companies, communities and environment can thrive tomorrow.

Innovation

Continuously finding better ways to work, improve and stay at the forefront of what we do.

Collaboration

Building trusted partnerships and strong relationships that allow us to achieve more together.

Human Potential

Creating opportunities for people to learn, grow and reach their full potential.

Newmantle Family of Companies

Newmantle brings together a family of companies that have grown through strong relationships, shared learning and a belief in building for the long term. Each company has its own journey and expertise, but none stand alone. Together, they form a collective where knowledge is shared, challenges are faced together and success is something everyone contributes to.

“Newmantle connects the common purpose of the shareholders across all the businesses. While the objectives of individual businesses may differ, our culture and values are closely aligned. This forms the foundation for everything we do.”

Our people are our building blocks

The ancient aqueduct is our defining symbol. For centuries, these remarkable structures carried life-giving water from distant mountains to thriving cities, not for the glory of the channel itself, but for the flourishing of everything it served.

In the same way, Newmantle exists to connect, support and strengthen the companies within its collective. While each company has its own focus, they are united by shared values and a common purpose: creating the conditions where people and companies can thrive.

With more than 1000 people across the collective, and many more supported through our value chains, Newmantle represents thousands of individual journeys. From first jobs to leadership roles. From small beginnings to generational careers.

“For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work.”

- Jim Collins

Socio-economic and environmental responsibility

Since 1995, Reproplast has brought Newmantle’s vision to life by transforming post-consumer waste into high‑performance RE:MINED™ recycled materials, proving that sustainability and manufacturing excellence can advance together.

This journey delivers meaningful socio‑economic and environmental impact by diverting plastic waste from landfills and the natural environment, reducing carbon emissions, contributing to a circular economy. At the same time, Reproplast supports local livelihoods by creating jobs across the recycling value chain and enables the growth of small and medium enterprises.

Through responsible sourcing and manufacturing, Reproplast strengthens supply chain resilience for its partners and helps customers achieve their sustainability goals, demonstrating how responsible innovation can protect resources, uplift communities, and build a more inclusive, sustainable future.

The heartbeat of a family of companies

Newmantle exists as the steady centre of the collective. As the drummer is to a band, it provides the steady heartbeat, the rhythm that keeps companies aligned, connected and moving forward together. Quietly purposeful, not seeking the spotlight, but ensuring that the conditions exist for every company to perform at its best.

Our founding shareholders contribute decades of experience and a deeply held founder’s mindset, working alongside the leadership teams entrusted with each business. Their role is not one of control but of guidance and support, offering perspective, mentorship and strength as leaders navigate complexity, pursue opportunity and build companies that can endure for generations. In this way, Newmantle acts much like a trusted parent: providing a safe place with strong boundaries, wisdom and discipline, while allowing each company the freedom to grow into its full potential.

Together as a collective, we support one another and strive to be dealers in hope, creating opportunities that don’t just shape businesses, but that change lives and family stories for generations.

What guides us

Creating conditions to thrive

We work to create environments where people and companies can grow, contribute and reach their potential.

Keeping the heartbeat strong

Through guidance and alignment, we help our family of companies move forward together with clarity and purpose.

Staying curious and innovative

We never stand still, always looking for better ways to improve, innovate and strengthen what we build.

Growing people, not just companies

We believe our greatest investment is in human potential, helping people learn, grow and build meaningful futures.

Stronger through collaboration

By working together and supporting one another, we achieve more than any one company could alone.

Our properties

Across South Africa, Newmantle owns and develops many of the properties that house our companies. This allows us to create environments designed for the work, the people and the future of each company.

We believe the places where we operate should uplift the areas around them. From maintaining roads and pavements to planting green spaces and keeping environments clean and cared for, our responsibility extends beyond our gates. When you arrive at a Newmantle site, it feels different, because the environment reflects the standards we believe in.
