“Being a member of SAEFA has positively impacted our company, particularly during restructuring after lockdown. Networking with other members has helped us form valuable connections and partnerships, advancing our company further”.
As a leading manufacturer and distributor of fasteners, commonly known as nuts and bolts, CBC Fasteners (Pty) Ltd sought to align with an independent association that better suited our evolving business needs. We found SAEFA’s balanced approach to labor relations highly beneficial. One key advantage is that wage increases are now based on minimum rates of pay rather than actual rates, providing more flexibility in managing costs. Additionally, the short agreement with Solidarity has phased in SEIFSA’s high entry rate, which further accommodated our operational requirements.
SAEFA has consistently proven to be an efficient and supportive partner, helping us navigate challenges and keeping us informed through regular updates via email and WhatsApp. Meetings are also organized when necessary, ensuring we stay updated on industry trends, regulations, and best practices. While we haven’t fully utilized all of SAEFA’s services, the help desk support has been invaluable when needed. One of the standout benefits we receive is the weekly updates from the CRA, which SAEFA shares—an essential resource for staying on top of industry developments.
If you’re in the fasteners industry or related sectors, SAEFA’s proactive and flexible approach can provide the support and updates you need to stay ahead.
