Our History
Casting With Purpose Since 1948
Protea Foundry has been part of Cape Town's industrial and marine supply landscape for decades. From our Salt River facility, we continue to serve clients who need dependable sacrificial anodes for harsh, high-corrosion environments. Our long-standing presence gives us practical insight into local marine conditions, port operations, vessel maintenance, offshore requirements and the need for fast, accurate manufacturing support.
What has stayed the same is our focus: producing anodes that protect valuable assets from corrosion, reduce maintenance pressure and support long-term performance in demanding conditions.
