H&R
Africa

Heinrich Hansen and Emil Rosenthal founded H&R in Hamburg in 1919. Today, the H&R Group has accepted the challenge of globalization and has subsidiaries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. H&R Africa, based in Durban, serves as the anchor for the African continent.

This ideal location makes it possible to easily receive critical raw materials, imports and products required by our customers while acting as a perfect springboard for exports to other countries in Africa and the rest of the world.

H&R Africa's product line caters to a wide range of specialized industries: the lubricant, tire, plastic, cable, paint, packaging, agriculture, personal care and cosmetic industries. In addition to petroleum jellies, base oils, process oils, spray oils, paraffin waxes and wax emulsions, the newly formed division also offers specialty chemicals.

Our products not only meet market requirements, but in some cases exceed them thanks to developments and innovations, many of which are patent-protected. Combining quality with a proactive approach to environmental protection and occupational safety not only reinforces our image, but also increases our efficiency and allows us to offer branded products of consistently high quality. Research and pioneering developments play an important role in all our divisions.
