Established in the East Rand of Gauteng Province in 1990 by the founder Pierre Fouche, Bumatech started out supplying pre-portioned packs for making concrete in small batches to hardware stores. Hence the name was derived from Building Materials Technology.

From these humble beginnings, Bumatech has now transformed into the leading producer of slag conditioners and cement additives from metallurgical waste in South Africa. Currently based in Vanderbijlpark, our unique technology developed and perfected locally by our committed team, is both cost effective and environmentally friendly, providing a true “cradle to grave solution”.

Because we are dealing with hazardous waste streams, we have specific Environmental licenses for the storage and processing of this material. These licenses are rigorously managed and audited by the national and provincial department of environmental affairs. We embrace this as we have chosen the green path and conform to the standards required of us.
