MOMAR - COMPANY PROFILE


MOMAR, Inc. was founded in 1947, in Atlanta in the USA as a specialty chemical manufacturer of general industrial cleaning, maintenance and sanitation chemicals. These also include water treatment and synthetic based lubricants. Over the years, extensive research and new product development has supported continual growth, both in the USA, and Internationally.

 

MOMAR manufactures and sells its industrial maintenance & sanitation chemicals in bulk (packaged in drums), directly to the ultimate user. The products offered make for a better and safer work environment, serving the needs of almost every business or enterprise – from food processing areas to washrooms, workshops, hospitals, hotels, schools, supermarkets, offices, construction, mines, etc.

 

The South African company, CANSA PTY LTD trading as MOMAR, was founded in 1969, under license to MOMAR Inc. in the USA. It is an independent SA Company, but benefits fully from every aspect of the American Company's expertise. There are similar, independent MOMAR licensees located in England, Malaysia and Australia.

 

Every product manufactured at the plant in Cape Town, is to the strict Specifications laid down by the US Company. Local Raw Materials are used wherever possible, as long as they meet the necessary standards. If they do not, imported chemicals are used. This ensures that products are identical to those produced in the USA and internationally, and also that the products meet all the stringent requirements of the various USA authorities such as:

 

OSHA -  Occupational Safety & Health Administration; EPA  -  Environmental Protection Agency; FDA  -  Food & Drug Administration; USDA -  US Dept. of Agriculture

To ensure that we also keep fully up to date on International trends in our Industry, we are members of ISSA (International Sanitary Suppliers Association) based in the USA. We regularly attend their annual conventions and seminars.

We are committed to upholding the Code of Ethics of these associations, which include:

* In all business transactions, keep the purpose of serving the public health foremost.

* Pledging that only high-quality products be offered to the public, and to render complete service with every sale made.

* An undertaking to aid in educating the public in proper, efficient sanitation methods, so that public health may be maintained and improved.

* Continuing products and methods research to aid in bettering the level of public health.

* Acting in a manner that we command the respect and trust of the public for our industry.

* Products should be sold on the basis of total value, namely, price, quality and service and that all representations be truthful.

Material Safety Data Sheets are available for all products that require them. Our products, where applicable, have also been tested to ensure they meet the appropriate standards of the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). We have SABS Certification for Cleaning Chemicals and Disinfectants and Detergent-Disinfectants for use in the Food Industry (Specifications SABS 1828:2005 and SABS 1853:2009) under Permit Numbers 8163/12964 and 8163/12965.

 

We are an ISO 9000:2008 Registered Company (certificate No. A1040SA), and thus meet the internationally recognised quality administration and manufacturing systems and standards required.

 

We have been audited by BEE Rating Solutions and Certified as a Level 4 BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT (B-BBEE) Contributor. BEE Rating Solutions (Pty) Ltd, is a SANAS (South African National Accreditation System) accredited BEE Verification Agency and a member of the Association of BEE Verification Agencies (ABVA).

 

Upholding the well being of the environment and the health of those in the work place is upper most in our consideration of what products to manufacture and where and how they should be used. Cost is never sacrificed at the expense of product safety and quality.    

 

We currently manufacture a range of nearly 200 products and employ more than 50 people. Our full-time Sales Representatives cover all areas of South Africa and neighbouring countries. They are fully trained and experienced in the cleaning and maintenance chemical field. Besides the manufacturing plant in Cape Town, we also have offices and distribution facilities in Johannesburg, and also in Namibia. Delivery of product direct to customers’ premises is either by our own vehicles (in areas surrounding Cape Town and Johannesburg), or by one of our Distribution Partners. 

Upholding the well being of the environment and the health of those in the work place is upper most in our consideration of what products to manufacture and where and how they should be used. Cost is never sacrificed at the expense of product safety and quality.  Our latest GREENACTION PRODUCT LINE is environmentally responsible chemistry in action.

In October 2007, our Factory was destroyed in a fire; however, we were able to remain in business, thanks to the efforts of our loyal staff, as well as understanding customers.
