90+ YEARS OF GROWTH & LEGACY

SA Bias Industries (Pty) Limited has grown out of the original SA Bias Binding Manufacturers, founded in 1933. Today SA Bias Industries is a diversified international Group consisting of over twenty companies divided into three business units – Sabias Investments, the NTX Group, and the Flowmax Group. Our businesses include both industrial manufacturing operations and focussed distributors of high quality products providing technical solutions to many market sectors. We operate across a wide range of product offerings, ranging from specialist industrial textiles to fluid management systems and healthy building solutions. We have offices in Southern Africa, the UK, Jersey, Australia and Europe and export to markets across the globe.

SA Bias has grown organically and by acquisition and we continue to welcome new companies into our ‘family run’ group, often partnering with other families and business owners.

We are controlled by the Coutts-Trotter family and Sabvest Limited who have together been involved in the business for almost 40 years and who are fortunate to have a team of skilled, dedicated, and experienced senior management and directors to guide the Group.

If one of our Group companies can be of service to you, please contact SA Bias or the relevant Group company directly via the Contact links. If you are a business owner and are looking to sell your company or if you want the support of a larger group, please contact SA Bias headoffice directly and we will be pleased to get in touch.
