This initiative enhances SFI Health South Africa’s ability to offer greater flexibility in pack sizes, ensuring a product portfolio that aligns more closely with the needs of South African consumers. By taking this step, the company aims to make its scientifically supported health solutions more accessible, without compromising on quality or efficacy.

Simultaneously, this initiative will have a positive ripple effect on the local economy: all packaging materials will be sourced from South African suppliers, and the products themselves will be assembled locally, thus supporting the domestic manufacturing sector.

Susan Lewis, Head of Sales Direct Markets EMEA and co-leader of the project at SFI Health South Africa together with Linda Wessels, Regional Commercial Finance Manager, commented: “This project is more than just a business decision—it’s a commitment to the people of our community. By sourcing locally and supporting local jobs, we’re not only making our products more accessible, but also investing in the long-term well-being and economic resilience of the region.”

In addition, this project aligns with SFI Health’s broader sustainability efforts, reducing the environmental impact of transportation while fostering a more circular and locally anchored supply chain.
