Local context
Working in Knysna Industrial
We service Knysna Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Knysna Industrial, Knysna, with access off the N2 and R339. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.
