A J Charnaud & Co (Pty) Ltd

A  J Charnaud & Co (Pty) Ltd was founded in 1975 by Fiona and Andrew Charnaud to manufacture industrial rainwear for the South African market. The organisation has since expanded its range of products considerably over the years and now supplies advanced personal protective clothing and equipment to various sectors of the global economy.

 

The mining and firefighting industries have been major focus areas from the beginning and today still represent a significant portion of the organisations activities.

 

Involvement in the hot metal market goes back to 1978, including the primary aluminium smelter market since 1999 with the in-house developed ALu-SAFE®, a material which resisted molten aluminium and cryolite splash. A complete head-to-foot package of products has been built around ALu-SAFE®, including ultra-high heat and molten metal resistant footwear. Today Alu-SAFE® is internationally certified and the benchmark for personal protective clothing in the global aluminium industry.
