HISTORY

AMSOL acquired the business of SMIT Amandla Marine, the market leader in specialist marine solutions provision in the Southern African region, in December 2016. Delighted at the return of the company to its African roots and South African ownership, employees and management are shareholders.

SMIT Amandla Marine was formed in 2005, and as a 30% Black South African owned company, enjoyed significant growth to 2016, expanding into Mozambique and Namibia during this time.

Prior to 2005, the company operated as wholly owned subsidiary of then global marine expert group SMIT International since their acquisition of the business in 2000.

The roots of the business are vested in Pentow Marine, a proudly South Africa owned entity that quickly established itself as a market leader in the early 1990’s.
