About Us
Established in 1980, JSM Products traces its humble beginnings to a small machine tucked away in an outbuilding on the farm Mynrust, nestled between Kroonstad and Vredefort. Originally conceived as a potentially lucrative side venture alongside traditional farming pursuits, it swiftly evolved into a thriving enterprise catering to clients across South Africa.
The name "JSM" stems from the initials of its founders, Johannes and Susan Maree. The journey began with the production of slip-on PVC book covers, a staple for millions of schoolchildren. What started as a modest "back to School" project in 1980, supplying 40,000 covers to a cautiously optimistic market, has blossomed into an enduring tradition. Today, over four decades later, those same schools continue to rely on our covers, with our products now distributed nationally in substantial quantities.
Chances are, you've encountered our packaging while perusing hardware store aisles, as we proudly supply packaging solutions to numerous manufacturers of screws, nuts, bolts, nails, and other hardware essentials.
Setting us apart is our commitment to tailor-made solutions. Many of our products are crafted specifically to meet our clients' unique needs. As you explore our website, you'll discover a range of items available exclusively through us. Our bespoke presentation materials, utilized in both national and international seminars and conferences, have garnered praise and recognition.
