Scheltema: Of Service for
Almost 90 Years
Founded in Cape Town in 1931, Scheltema has been specialising in roofing, ceiling and partitioning
applications for close on 90 years
A
s South Africa’s leading provider
of roofing, ceilings and partition-
ing since 1931, Scheltema has
earned a firm reputation for delivering
consistently superior workmanship and
specialised expertise. A family-owned
business of humble origin, Scheltema
have contributed to some of the Mother
City’s most prominent buildings - Groote
Schuur, The Red Cross Children’s Hospital,
The State President’s residence, CTICC,
V& A Waterfront, Century City, Cape
Town International Airport, Green Point
Stadium, Amazon Data Centers, Tyger
Valley Shopping Centre, Distell, and the
Silo Hotel to name a few.
“We are immensely proud of the high-
profile projects that we’ve been involved
in, but we never lose sight of the fact that it
is Scheltema’s capability and commitment
to servicing the small and medium sized
projects that ultimately sustains us,” says
Wouter Viljoen, MD of Scheltema & Co
(Pty) Ltd.
“Ours is a business built on trust and
partnership. We enjoy excellent and lasting
70
relationships with many of Cape Town’s
larger construction companies, but we’ve
completed thousands of smaller projects
for private land and property owners.
We are ideally positioned to assist small
to medium sized property owners and
developers with renovations, extensions,
and revamps, to their commercial and
industrial premises” Viljoen said.
Longevity, reliability, and workforce
stability may well be cornerstones of the
construction industry, but Scheltema’s
track record also demonstrates their com-
mitment towards innovation, to pushing
boundaries, and going beyond their core
service offering in order to deliver a truly
differentiated value proposition.
The company has recently extended
its business to the Eastern Cape,
completing numerous successful projects
including the new Mercedes Benz
C-class Manufacturing Facility, DHL’s
Distribution Centre, Milkwood Student
Accommodation, Dora Nzinga Hospital,
Addo Cold Store, Patensie Citrus Co. and
many more.

Scheltema’s CEO.
Scheltema remains as innovative and
committed today as it was at its inception.
