Capacity and capability:

FSM has probably the largest production facility in South Africa. Our factory area exceeds 4.8 hectares of land with over 24 000 m2 under roof. We have an additional assembly plant of approximately 2 000 m2 in Atlantis.

Our workforce is loyal and average lengths of service normally exceed 25 years. We have a permanent workforce of approximately 300 factory staff and 60 office staff. We can boost capacity with additional contract workers. The main reason for this type of facility is the nature of the industry which requires speed and efficiency without any compromises on quality.

Prefabricated Buildings are an effective and quick alternative to brick buildings. Two main factors set FSM apart – quality and speed. We are consistently market leaders in both.

Both our Modular Building System and FR Polycore Building System carries the Agrèment Certification. All materials used in the construction of all our systems are certified in terms of international or local industry standards to ensure the quality of our product.

It is for this reason that FSM Buildings have extremely long lifespans. The longest recorded being in excess of 60 years which is essentially some of the first buildings manufactured and erected by FSM.

An inspection of our factory will leave you in no doubt as to our capabilities.
