About us
Established in 1986, Super Group is a broad based supply chain management business listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange. Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-progress inventory and finished goods from point-of-origin to point-of-consumption.
Our businesses encompass the planning and management of all activities involved in the sourcing, procurement, and logistics management. This is possible through coordination and collaboration with our valued channel partners; be they suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers or customers. In essence, Super Group integrates supply and demand management within and across companies.
About our people
Super Group is a firm believer in the maxim that a company is only as good as its people, so much so that ‘People and Culture’ will always be a priority for the group.

To this end we affirm our commitment to human dignity, equality, freedom and respect. We encourage an open and honest working relationship where, through teamwork and cooperation, we will ensure the growth, development and advancement of Super Group and all its stakeholders.
