About Us

With over 20 years of industry experience, we convert raw tissue into high-performing products for households, retailers, corporates, and industrial clients across KwaZulu-Natal.

Mthembu Tissue Converting was founded by Thembinkosi General Mthembu with a clear mission: to produce high-quality, ethically made tissue products that meet the real needs of South Africa’s diverse markets. 

What began in a single Durban facility has grown into a nationally recognised business that is proudly black-owned and Level 3 B-BBEE compliant. 

With over 20 years of industry experience, we convert raw tissue into high-performance products for households, retailers, corporates, and industrial clients across KwaZulu-Natal. 

We operate at a capacity of 1,600 tons with [insert sqm here] of production space, giving us the scale to handle large-volume orders and the agility to service smaller runs, all with competitive lead times.

We get to know your business, understand your customers, and craft products that deliver on shelves, in service, and at scale.
