In 2001 the firms expansion had become such that the Lorenztville premises were inadequate to meet the required manufacturing capacity requirements so SCI moved into its existing premises in Southdale, Johannesburg. The production capabilities were vertically extended to include polymer material mixing and compounding at the new facility. This gave the company a strong base to expand its product range to cost-effectively include commercial appliances, outdoor construction, plumbing, sanitary ware and the flooring products. Throughout these periods of expansion, SCI retained many of its original customers illustrating the ability to form strong business relationships with customers.
