Manufacturing
Imbani has investments in most high growth sectors and adds significant value to these investments by leveraging its network and skill sets across them.
These sectors include:
Imbani Leather
Imbani recently acquired Mario Levi SA, a leather manufacturing plant in Uitenhage that has been operating since 1999 under licence from the Italian leather manufacturing company Mario Levy that was established shortly after World War 2.
With state-of-the-art Italian leather manufacturing equipment and technical expertise provided by the mother company, Imbani Leather has the capacity to transform 1500 wet blue hides per day through re-tanning and finishing processes. The hides are cut and packed into ready-to-use kits or shipped as flat hides to local and overseas customers.

Their latest product, Eureka, enhances the classic Leola with a slender frame.
Aluview’s notable projects include the Westcliff and Montecasino Hotels in Johannesburg, the Arabella in Cape Town, the Saint Geran in Mauritius, and the Sheraton in Gambia, serving a diverse clientele from homeowners to architects.
