History of SGB-Cape

In 2005 Waco Africa brought together SGB Scaffolding Systems and Cape Contracts to form SGB-Cape. SGB-Cape is now South Africa’s leading access, marine and event scaffolding supplier and a leading force in access based maintenance such as thermal insulation, corrosion protection, asbestos removal and industrial plastic insulation.

SGB Scaffolding Systems (SGB), a division of Waco Africa in South Africa was formed in 1948 operating in the scaffolding business.

Waco Africa acquires Cape Contracts

Waco Africa acquired Cape Contracts in February 2005. Cape Contracts offered insulation, scaffolding and corrosion protection services. As part of Waco Africa’s strategy to provide sustainable stakeholder value and meet our customers ever increasing needs for an integrated service, it was decided to combine these insulation and scaffolding offerings. SGB and Cape Contracts integrated into a brand new division of Waco Africa called SGB-Cape.
