Great to see local furniture, shopfitting and steel manufacturers in Gauteng and the Cape winning back retail supply contracts that used to go to imported flat-pack containers. Shipping delays at ports have made 14-day local lead times from workshops like @pioneerdesigns and @valhallaprojects a massive competitive advantage.

@tygerbergtax 100% @vaalfabricator! Retailers would rather pay 5% more for locally manufactured shelving and packaging they can replenish in 10 days than tie up R2m on the water for 11 weeks.

@peninsulaplumb Exactly what we are seeing in Paarl and Bellville too @eppingpack_cpt, fast local turnaround beats container minimum order quantities every time.
