The ratings are tallied with PMR . africa handing out Diamond , Gold , Silver and Bronze awards to companies , institutions and individuals that have excelled throughout the year .
Corobrik is honoured to be taking an award that recognises the service and quality products it delivers to its customers . Shangase says this is due to a culture of employee value creation which has entrenched an ethos of constant high performance across its factories and centres nationally .
“ By acknowledging the potential of every Corobrik employee and encouraging self improvement through ongoing training and evaluation , Corobrik is able to meet the demands of an ever-changing market with customer satisfaction a priority ,” explains Shangase . “ This is coupled with Corobrik ’ s varied , quality range of bricks suited to the commercial , industrial and residential sectors . We are constantly analysing market trends and refining our product offerings to stay ahead of the game .”
All Corobrik ’ s manufacturing processes meet international standards with sustainability underscoring all business directives . The past decade has seen Corobrik investing in sustainable equipment such as advanced extrusion technology at the Phesantekraal factory to reduce energy consumption and improve the structural building material ; new robotics at Rietvlei and Lawley factories ; and the conversion to a natural gas kiln at the Lawley factory . This has resulted in reduced emissions and earned Corobrik carbon credits for the effort .
Corobrik also complies fully with the National Environment Management Act of 2014 , with its own Environmental Impact Access implemented at each quarry .
“ We will continue to adopt sustainable practices , create in-demand products and offer quality customer care in line with the requirements of the PMR . africa Diamond Arrow Award ,” concludes Shangase .
