Our Integrity is Our Reputation

At Pyrotec, we pride ourselves on our reputation for integrity. We believe in respecting human rights and strongly oppose any form of illegal or exploitative labor. It is of utmost importance for us to uphold labor laws and avoid inhumane practices such as exploitation, physical punishment, abuse, involuntary servitude, or any other form of mistreatment.

We are also committed to protecting the environment by preserving the earth’s resources. We adhere to all industry standards and regulations regarding animal care, handling, and welfare. Only products that meet good manufacturing, distribution, and professional service standards are handled by us.

Supporting Skills Development

As Pyrotec’s brands continue to grow, Rowan Beattie focusses on his leadership role and supports his highly experienced managers. With his team efficiently running day-to-day operations, Rowan dedicates himself to the company’s Skills Development Fund, which has sponsored over 425 individuals in South Africa over the past three years, at a cost of R12,990,000.

The training includes apprenticeships, bursaries, learnerships, diplomas, certificates, and degrees. Although most of these individuals are not employed at Pyrotec, our reward is seeing many young people connected to Pyrotec in various ways grow their knowledge and experience, advancing up the business ladder.

We believe that lifelong learning keeps us innovative and that education is vital to placing Africa on a path of sustainable growth and development.

Cultural Diversity
& Skill

Together, We Grow, Pyrotec’s mission permeates all operational areas of our business. Our watchwords – quality, operational efficiency, innovation, and communication – resonate with our staff.

Training

Each year, Pyrotec PackMark’s technicians have the opportunity to attend training abroad at Markem-Imaje and ALTech’s facilities in Europe, depending on the equipment and new technologies being released.

This ensures their expertise remains up-to-date with the latest technological advances and equips them with the skills needed to contribute to the development of the department, adding value to our business objectives. It also ensures service excellence, delivered by staff who feel empowered and have the skills and efficiency to assist customers in achieving their operational goals.

Besides the training our staff receive at our principals’ premises, they also benefit from meeting other distributors and sharing knowledge, best practices, and experiences with their global counterparts. We believe that staff training is vitally important for the growth of our business and to continue setting the industry benchmark in terms of service excellence, technological advancements, and delivering industry-leading equipment and products. We promote a sense of value among our staff and encourage personal growth and recognition as their skills develop.

Innovation

For us, innovation is focused on production and constantly questioning the status quo by pushing boundaries.

Values

Rowan believes that any organisation adopts the characteristics of its leader. He values above-board business dealings and steadfastly encourages employees to earn the respect of all stakeholders and to treat each other with dignity. He also inspires high levels of integrity and asserts that moral principles govern actions. Trust is built on confidence in each staff member’s qualities – truth, fairness, honour, and ability.
