Company overview
B-BBEE Level 2
The Production line now qualifies as a Small Enterprise (QSE). We have reached a 20 year business record and have recently achieved 51% black female ownership. We are committed to sustainability, diversity and the support of local entrepreneurs across business communities.
Business Model
While The Production Line’s core team remains small, we have a wide network of skilled suppliers that are contracted for each project, depending on the requirements. This business model has proved economically successful throughout an everchanging business environment and has contributed to our ongoing sustainability.
Our Clients
Our Clients include companies in the business, commerce & industry sectors, with pharmaceuticals being our biggest segment. We manage the smallest of events (e.g. Internal marketing meetings, Advisory boards etc.) to large customer focused meetings (e.g. Internal Sales Conferences, Product Launches and External Medical conferences etc), to mention a few.
