Why Supporting Local Manufacturers Like Rybro Castors and Wheels Matters

As South Africa continues to face economic challenges and global supply chain pressures, one of the most impactful decisions businesses and consumers can make is to support local manufacturers. At Rybro Castors and Wheels, based in Strijdom Park, Randburg, we’re proud to be a leading South African manufacturer of castor wheels, trolley wheels, wheelbarrow wheels, pallet jack wheels and rollers, pneumatic wheels, dolly trolleys, and a wide range of wheel components and accessories.

Here’s why buying locally-manufactured products is more important now than ever:

1. Strengthen

ing the South African Economy

When you purchase from local manufacturers like Rybro, more of your money stays within the country. This strengthens the economy by supporting local supply chains, businesses, and communities.

Every sale of a castor wheel or pallet jack roller contributes to national economic growth and sustainability.

2. Creating Jobs and Uplifting Communities

South Africa’s high unemployment rate means that job creation is a national priority. By choosing local suppliers for industrial wheels, trolley components, and wheelbarrow wheels, you help support skilled and semi-skilled employment in South Africa.

At Rybro, we’re proud to offer local job opportunities and invest in the future of our community.

3. Developing Local Skills and Innovation

Manufacturing encourages the development of local expertise and innovation. Our team at Rybro is constantly improving product designs, sourcing quality materials, and ensuring our wheels and components meet industry standards.

Whether it’s a heavy-duty castor, pneumatic trolley wheel, or custom dolly trolley, we innovate with the needs of our clients in mind.

4. Reducing Carbon Footprint

Importing wheels and components from overseas means more fuel, longer shipping distances, and increased emissions. Buying from a local manufacturer like Rybro Castors and Wheels reduces the environmental impact by shortening the supply chain.

Our manufacturing facility in Randburg ensures timely delivery while keeping our carbon footprint lower than imported alternatives.

5. Ensuring Product Availability and Faster Delivery

Global shipping delays and import issues can affect your operations. When you choose a South African wheel manufacturer, you get faster turnaround times and reliable stock availability.

We distribute across South Africa and neighbouring countries, ensuring our customers get what they need—when they need it.

6. Supporting Tailored, Quality Solutions
