From a Boksburg workshop in 1973 to a 300-person operation in Bronkhorstspruit.
Lovell Industries began in 1973 as Lovell & Rovieri, a mould-making workshop in Boksburg. Through the 1980s, we shifted our focus to blister and thermoformed packaging, establishing ourselves as specialists in custom tooling and production.
Our 1995 move to Bronkhorstspruit marked a turning point — a larger facility, closer integration with the community, and the foundation for what would become a 300-person operation. In the 2000s, we expanded into food-grade packaging, achieving FSSC 22000 certification.
Today, 50 years since our founding, Lovell remains family-owned and deeply rooted in Bronkhorstspruit. Generations of employees work alongside each other, and our commitment to quality, community, and continuous improvement defines everything we do.
