July… Reflecting on a Remarkable July
July in Maizey - One for the Books
July brought a perfect blend of hard work, exciting wins, and memorable moments. Here's a look back at what made the month so special.
Maizey Named Sole Distributor for DM Reflective
We're proud to announce that Maizey is now the exclusive distributor of DM Premium Reflective Advertising Grade Material. A massive thank you to DM and the Maizey team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this happen. We’re excited for the journey ahead - two trusted brands, one powerful partnership.
Nationwide DTF Training with Gencotech
In July, we partnered with Gencotech to kick off an exciting new chapter in DTF and UV DTF technology.
We hosted extensive training sessions:
• At our Johannesburg hub, where staff from all inland branches came together
• In Durban and Cape Town, reaching our coastal teams too
These sessions brought together sales staff, managers, and warehouse teams to learn about hot vs. cold peel, accessories, and the benefits of the new technology. We hope everyone enjoyed the training, took away valuable knowledge, and is ready to hit the ground running.
A special thank you to Kevin Govender and Samantha Maizey for their dedication, countless kilometers of travel, and hard work in setting up and running the sessions so successfully. Launch coming soon - end of August!

Maizey is excited to introduce a game-changing addition to our product lineup in partnership with Lamin8 Tools - the ClearGuard Paint Protection Film (PPF) range.

Charity Starts at Home – Supporting All Hearts Foundation

This initiative deeply moved our Chairman, Rikki Maizey, who launched the Chairman’s Charity - a long-term commitment to support this cause and give back.

The Future is Here - Maizey’s New Distribution Centre & Head Office in Jet Park
We’re incredibly proud to announce a major milestone in the Maizey journey, the purchase of our brand-new 20,000 sqm Distribution Centre (DC) and future Head Office, located in Jet Park, Johannesburg. This is more than just a new building. It’s a bold step into the future of Maizey - a future built on efficiency, innovation, and people.
