Silbert and Company is a family owned business established in 1968 which has been actively supplying new and once used /secondhand woven polypropylene, hessian and jute bags to the industry for 45 years. From our premises in Durban, Kwa-zulu Natal and close proximity to the harbour and national road networks we are positioned to actively service and supply the local, regional and national industries. Our extensive warehousing capability affords us the ability to keep considerable stocks for a reliable and continuous supply to the various industries that we supply. 1: Polypropylene Bags Our primary business focus is the supply of once used/second hand Polypropylene Bags. As woven Polypropylene bags are made from plastic, they are inherently water-resistant and can be used in place of corrugated boxes, paper bags, and fiber drums. They will not sag or get soggy, and will still be sellable even after inclement weather. This is positive news for retailers and manufacturers as packaging that is weather-resistant increases merchandising options, and decreases the risk of damaged product. The larger bags or Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC’s) also known as bulk bags have been extensively adopted by the agricultural and manufacturing industries, most commonly used to hold animal feed, sand, produce, grain, minerals, chemicals, aluminium, manganese, fertilizers, cement, coffee, sugar, flour, rice, tobacco and plastics. Uses have also been found in the Logistics, Shipping and Warehousing Sectors. The popularity of FIBC’s is that they do not require specialised handling equipment and can be handled using standard forklifts, pallet trucks or cranes. Most large FIBC have integral lifting loops, eliminating the need for pallets. The stability and height of the stack is dependent on the product being transported, together with the handling equipment available. Over 50 million FIBC’s are sold in Europe and Asia every year to a wide range of industries. The strength and long life span of the bag allows for recycling thereby reducing the carbon footprint on the earth. 2: Hessian /Jute Cloth and Bags Silbert & Company also supply industries with bags made from Hessian and Jute as well as rolls of Hessian and Jute fabric in various industry specific widths. Its breathability makes it suitable for carrying foodstuffs (coffee beans) as it is less prone to condensation and associated spoilage of the contents than other materials and also durable enough to withstand rough handling in transit. It has found a use as a wet covering to prevent rapid moisture loss in setting of cement and concrete in the construction industry, and the landscaping and horticultural industries for ground stabilisation due to its biodegradability. When more advanced technologies emerged Jute Fibre was spun into better quality yarn and woven to make Jute cloth. It is used predominantly for the manufacture of traditional products such as Hessian cloth, sacks, carpet backing and other floor covering materials. Jute can also be used for composites, geotextiles, paper pulp, and decorative materials.
