Saint-Gobain Isover South Africa has the proud distinction of holding the longest independent certified quality system in the country, having achieved SABS 0157 in 1984 subsequently converted to ISO 9001.

In 2008 we invested R 30 million upgrading our production facilities, installing the latest TEL fiberising technology which has improved the quality and performance of our fibres and has increased our production capacity by 30%. This will enable Isover to meet the growing demand for insulation due to the increased cost of electricity and the energy efficiency legislation SANS 10400-XA for new buildings.
