Give me more information

Fully describe the business's activities?

The business is a local solar panel mounting structure manufacturer based on the East Rand. The company was formed to manufacture a unique offering to the solar market. The business has designed a flagship locknut that locks the solar panels into place, which works as a delay tactic on the theft of solar panels.

The equipment will have to be moved to another site, as the current owner runs another business from the factory.
