Working in Philippi

We service Philippi Horticultural Area, Philippi Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Philippi, Cape Town, with access off the N2 and R300. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.
