W
hat made this year even
more special, is that
Senwes celebrated its 110th
birthday on 15 May at this
premier agri-event, the biggest in the
Southern Hemisphere! The occasion was
marked by CEO Francois Strydom and
the Senwes team being presented with
a birthday cake and bubbly by Central
South Africa’s “Sound of Your Life” OFM
radio station.
Francois paid tribute to all our stake-
holders, especially to you, our valued
clients, for your support and faith in the
company over the years. In recognition of
this momentous event, Senwes also took
out a 24 page insert on Senwes’ history in
the Landbouweekblad magazine, which
also celebrated its 100 years existence.
Congrats to LBW on its centenary!
Back to Nampo, Senwes was again
represented by its Grainlink stall and the
Grainlink team were on hand, dispen
sing advice and garnering leads about
all aspects of grain production, storage
and marketing. Remember, for the best
integrated solutions to get the most out of
your grain yields, all you have to do is call

Grainlink team are live on OFM each morning
at about 05:45 during the agri-hour “Before
Dawn”, where they share the latest trends,
news and Safex movements in the grain
industry.
The Senwes Grainlink stall also gave
away a R1 000 Hinterland voucher to one
lucky winner each day of Nampo, and cele
brated Senwes’ 110th birthday by giving
away 110 cupcakes to 110 visitors to the
stall on our birthday.
Senwes’ retail partner, Hinterland was
also present at Nampo, with its agri-goodies,
weapons and ammo, proving very popular
once again!
