Two Decades of Manufacturing Excellence...

Powered by Strategic Vision. We are the operational force behind South Africa’s most iconic snacks, combining localised expertise with world-class corporate infrastructure.

Unrivalled Scale. Uncompromising Quality.

Pakworks was established in 2000 as a pioneering joint project with Simba. Recognising the immense potential of localised, focused management, a strategic decision was made to transfer the Heilbron peanut and extruded snack operations to a dedicated local team. In November 2022, Pakworks entered a transformative era when Sakhumnotho Group Holdings acquired an 85% majority stake in the business. This strategic acquisition represents a powerful alignment of our on-the-ground manufacturing expertise with robust investment foresight
