Ceratech coatings entered the South African market via Namibia in the middle 80's after experiencing huge success in Namibia with its very hot climate. A South African franchise was started in Somerset West which rapidly grew so big that bigger premises were found and opened at airport industria, Cape Town.

Franchises were set up in 16 areas and Ceratech took off as customers quickly realised the usefulness and efficiency of the product. Through vigorous advertising and marketing Ceratech quickly made its mark as the only liquid ceramic heat barrier coating. Well known clients (Spoornet, SAB, Distell Eskom) all realized Ceratech's potential as a quick fix solution to Africa's tremendous heat problem.

Andre Ferreira purchased the company and now owns the intellectual property rights and trademark.
