ABOUT US
& OUR HISTORY
In business since 1933, our success is based on innovation, customer-focused
techniques, and dedication to delivering client specific solutions.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1887 by Col. Claude Tremeer Snr, Tremeer & Cummings emerged as a pivotal supplier to mines, specializing in products like cotton waste and rags for oil spills and general cleaning.
The company, initially focused on importing these goods, underwent a transformation in 1933, becoming SA Cotton Waste Manufacturing and registering as one of Johannesburg’s pioneer “Pty. Ltd” Companies. The company expanded its product offering by starting manufacturing of mutton cloth and operates today as a leading mutton cloth/stockinette manufacturer in Southern Africa.
In 1946, the renowned Haggie family (known for Haggie Rope), joined forces with Claude Tremeer Jnr and Norman Tremeer, leading to the establishment of Brockwell & Co, marking the company’s foray into the rope business. The companies evolved further, culminating in its acquisition by the Russellstone Group in 2022 and joined together trading as Brockwell SA Cotton.
Today, Brockwell SA Cotton carries forward a rich legacy of supplying essential products to various industries of Southern Africa.
