Company DescriptionA History of InnovationCobute (Pty) Ltd. (Concrete Building Technology) was formed in 1994 in Melkbosstrand, in the Western Cape, South Africa. The company was comprised of four shareholders, all with extensive experience in the manufacturing of precast elements for the building industry in Italy. The factory started with the production of light precast decking. In fact, Cobute Decking is one of the lightest precast systems available on the market and does not require any crane service to be installed. In 1996, to offer the easiest method of installation on site, new products were developed with the assistance of a civil engineer. In 1998 a patent was registered for "permanent concrete shutters" for columns, beams and staircases.

This is backed by the skills, facility and experience of our trained staff which are necessary to produce quality precast products ready to be installed on site.
