COMPANY OVERVIEW

OUR COMPANY IS OUR PASSION. INNOVATIVE VALUE CREATION

OUR PURPOSE

PRODUCT CATEGORIES

We provide financial security, access to development capital, and high-level management input.

Libstar’s purpose is to provide products and services of superior quality and value that will delight and exceed the expectations of our customers and consumers.

We value our people and develop them through skills, management and leadership programmes. We facilitate category management with the objective of creating consumer, shopper and customer demand. Our key focus is on innovation. We drive operational and supply chain excellence in order to deliver low cost, quality products and services that offer best value to our customers. We are committed to the promotion and implementation of good Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development in all our companies.

As a result, we will be rewarded with sales, profit and value creation for our employees, customers, suppliers, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.

THE SOUL OF OUR COMPANY DEPENDS ON THE COMPANY WE KEEP. INTEGRITY FIRST Integrity is the starting point: a commitment to doing business properly, with solid values. ‘Proper’ business is honest business: telling the simple truth and being above board in all our transactions. We are transparent in whatever we say and do, and respectful of the people who work beside us, whoever they might be. No matter what rank, status, income or designation, we are humble. Integrity and humility are two sides of the same coin.

T H E WAY W E D O B U S I N E S S

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP

We don’t work in a vacuum, but in a vibrant mesh of relationships with customers, employees, suppliers, partners and communities. We create alignment in words and actions. Our actions and words create energies that enhance what we do. Positive actions strengthen partnerships and galvanise teamwork: and strong partnerships keep our business in positive territory. Whether we’re dealing with colleagues, customers, suppliers, or the broader community, we make a conscious effort to develop healthy, strong partnerships.

A PASSION FOR WINNING

WE VALUE PEOPLE

We are results driven because how we perform matters. Our future depends on it.

It starts with people. We exist because we make products that serve people’s needs. Our job is to be highly responsive to what our customers need - and nothing less.

What we deliver to our stakeholders and the impression that we create both internally and in the world out there, matters a great deal. We hire people with a winning streak: people who consider themselves to be a lynchpin in the organisation, who approach every opportunity enthusiastically, dislike mediocrity, and push for more inventive approaches - even if pushing involves risk. There are no mysteries here. Winning requires setting achievable goals, having a plan and pursuing it with courage and focused enthusiasm. Winning also means being a perfectionist: doing much more, much better. Yes, good enough never is. And going for excellence is invigorating. We focus on what matters most and just get it done again and again, better and better.

The soul of our company depends on the company we keep. The people who we partner with, report to and lead. Quality people attract talent: and talent improves outcomes. Better outcomes ensure a better future for Libstar, its people, its customers, its partners and, ultimately, the broader community. We are a company that recognises individuality, demands accountability, applauds ingenuity and inspires a culture that thinks of work as a happy process, in a place where human dignity is sacrosanct and diversity is a great positive.

SMALL TOWN WHOLESOMENESS. BIG WORLD THINKING. TRADITIONAL COUNTRYSIDE GOODNESS

PROFILE

Based in picturesque Montagu in the hot, dry fruit growing region of the Little Karoo, Montagu Foods evolved from a well established family farming business which concerned itself with the production of wine grapes, fruits for canning and dried fruit on the farm ‘Little Oaks’. The company’s success is based on the sale of premium quality South African chutneys. Montagu Foods has broadened its repertoire from traditional apricot and peach chutneys to include popular exotic variants like pineapple and mango.

PRODUCTS

Besides chutney, Montagu Foods’ high tech factory has also responded to demand from retailers for other wet condiments like sweet chilli sauce, tomato sauce and salad dressings, produced for private label customers. Raw materials are sourced from the local region and the plant’s modern technology makes it possible for sterilised bottles to be filled, capped, tamperproof-sealed and datestamped, ready for packing on a single, steady line of production.
