about Sanitech

Brief History
Sanitech was founded in the early 1980’s as the first portable toilet hire company in South Africa to supply sanitation facilities to areas in which no sanitation infrastructure existed.

In 2007, Sanitech was purchased by Waco International - the leading forming, shoring and scaffolding and relocatable modular building service provider in the mining and resources, infrastructure, industrial maintenance, education, healthcare, entertainment events and construction sectors in the geographies it operates in. In South Africa the group companies are Formscaff, SGB-Cape and Abacus.

Innovations and New Products
We constantly search for the best available products. We purchase our products from  both local and international suppliers. We have recently and will continue to invest heavily on upgrading our available options and fleet, the recent acquisition of an additional 60 state of the art mobile trailers and upgrade of the special event fleet with imported units from the US are examples of this.

Our Supply Chain
Our high-quality special events units are imported directly from the United States, while our construction and trailer units are locally sourced from the leading suppliers in South Africa.

All our hygiene products are also sourced from prominent local manufacturers.

Product Quality
Our portable toilets are manufactured from either fibreglass or rotomoulded plastic.
