Luthando Tissue is a black owned manufacturing company. After having been in business for a number of year, its founder and employees are experienced and provide good customer services. The company makes sure that its clients receive consistent quality service, ensuring that they keep on coming back for more business with us!
Luthando Tissues founder and owner, Thabiso Mncwabe decided to manufacture toilet paper because it was not made locally in his region, in spite of increasing demand. He had recognised that with government installing sanitation systems in rural areas, people would need affordable toilet paper.
“My aim is to help people to live in a healthy environment and boost the local economy by creating employment and contributing to easing joblessness, especially among youth and women in rural areas.”
Thabiso sees potential in export and is working hand-in-hand with the Department of Trade and Industry to make sure that the products are of a good enough quality to make an impact internationally.
