About

Welcome to the Ohlhorst Group

Modern methods of construction

Since inception in the 1940s, Ohlhorst’s focus has been on quality workmanship and developing lasting, ethical relationships with clients, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. We ensure a top quality finish backed by professional service.

Our stable company history provides peace of mind in the knowledge that warranty on materials and installation will be honoured. This is particularly important in high impact installations requiring extended backup plans and guarantees on workmanship.

Over the years our field of expertise has expanded from plastering and tiling, into tile supply, stone beneficiation, lightweight building solutions, and modular construction.

We operate in the SADC region primarily as well as other African countries:

  • Namibia
  • Botswana
  • Zambia
  • Zimbabwe
  • Malawi
  • Mozambique

We will also welcome work in other African countries.

Ohlhorst Marble & Granite

OMG was born in 1997 in response to a need to become more competitive by allowing Ohlhorst to beneficiate stone in-house. OMG handles tasks such as stone cutting, edging and polishing. The company’s production facility in Chloorkop is fully equipped which allows it to provide not only for Ohlhorst’s needs but also to run as a separate entity.

BEE Policy

Ohlhorst is a Level 5 B-BBEE compliant company with 26% black ownership. Our supervisory, skilled and semi-skilled employees all have an equity stake in the organisation. This equity was given to our employees on the 1st March 2007. The sense of ownership that exists amongst our staff as a result has assisted Ohlhorst in striving for greater professionalism.

We’ve also assisted numerous small contractors in starting their own businesses. Many of the subcontractors we’ve enlisted in the past have gone on to establish independent companies.
