Our History
DPI Trading, a Division of DPI Plastics (Pty) Ltd and a member of the DAWN Group of Companies, has been established to take advantage of the needs required within the Infrastructure and Engineering Markets of the Western Cape.
DPI Trading story begins with a joint venture in February 2003, whereby DPI Plastics (Pty) Ltd , which included a number of JV black empowered businesses in the Coastal regions and Incledon (Pty) Ltd partnered to be the largest black empowered Engineering and Civil Wholesaler/Merchant in the country at that time.
The branches of Cape Town and George operated in the Western Cape as DPI Phumela (Pty) Ltd, as a black empowered Joint Venture wholesaler/merchant of DPI Plastics (Pty) Ltd.
