Cerax was established in 1982 (as SARPRI). It initially focused on the trading, blending and solidification of waxes and wax-derived products.

In the last 6 years the business has grown significantly in this area and added the capacity to produce functionalised waxes, speciality blends and formulations for multiple industries, in markets across the world.

The business is currently owned and run by an expert team of chemical engineers, formulation specialists, scientists and sales directors.

Our objectives as a company are as follows:

• To be the largest speciality wax and wax-based products manufacturer in Africa.
• To pioneer new applications and functions for wax, in a sustainable and progressive manner.
• To embrace innovation around the processing, engineering, formulation and manufacturing of speciality performance chemicals.
• To keep in line with global trends towards a more sustainable environment, by encompassing new sources of wax or wax alternatives.

Our ability as a company to be flexible and adapt provides customers with the reassurance that whatever volume of specific products they require, their needs are always a priority.

By following key principles of quality manufacturing, HSE and quality control, Cerax is able to provide the wax industry with custom products and solutions.
