About Us – Campbell

History

Campbell Refractory’s roots can be traced back to Campbell Labour Brokers which was established in 1996 by its founder Lorne Vertue Snr.

What started out as a one-man business has unexpectedly changed to several teams deployed over South Africa, Africa and the UAE.

Our first major project was for Karrena Africa to supply refractory personnel for the construction of the Corex/Midrex at Saldanha Works.

For over four years the company’s core business was the supply of highly skilled refractory personnel to a variety of clients in the refractory industry. We soon realized that we needed to adapt to our clients’ needs to ensure we are the first company that they call for assistance and support.

In 2002 Campbell Refractory Installation cc was established by Lorne Vertue. The company’s core business is to provide a comprehensive refractory service. We have done this by assessing the needs and expectations of our clients on a regular basis.

We supplied services to a variety of clients; from managing the complete project from start to finish; to supplying several teams and equipment on a need basis.

We find it exhilarating to know that our client’s success is our success.
