To become Southern Africa’s most trusted integrated print and
packaging partner — the preferred production partner of corporates,
retailers, and governments seeking scale, speed, quality, and
reliability.
Mission
PrintCore exists to make industrial-quality print accessible to every
business through a combination of world-class equipment, automated
digital workflows, and human expertise. We turn our clients’ brand
assets into physical reality with predictability, transparency, and zero
compromise on quality.
Core Values
- Precision — Every page, every pixel, every parcel right the first
time. - Partnership — Long-term relationships measured in decades, not
orders. - Sustainability — FSC-certified substrates, vegetable-based inks,
and a zero-waste-to-landfill operations target by Year 4. - Empowerment — Skills development, in-house training, and a
transformation-led hiring philosophy. - Innovation — Continuous reinvestment in production technology and
workflow automation.
2.3 Strategic Objectives
The Company has set the following strategic objectives over the
planning horizon:
- Establish a fully operational production facility in Pretoria
within 12 months of capital close. - Achieve cumulative revenue of ZAR 22 million in Year 1, scaling
to ZAR 65 million by Year 3 and ZAR 97.5 million by Year 5. - Reach EBITDA margins of 23% by Year 3, in line with the upper
quartile of South African commercial print operators. - Build a portfolio of 12 anchor B2B contracts with average annual
values exceeding ZAR 2 million within 24 months of launch. - Achieve ISO 9001:2015 quality certification within 18 months and
FSC chain-of-custody certification within 24 months. - Enter at least two SADC export markets (Botswana and Namibia) by
end of Year 3. - Maintain a customer-retention rate above 85% from Year 2
onwards.
2.4 Stage of Development
PrintCore is currently in the pre-launch capital-raising stage.
Founders have completed feasibility analysis, preliminary equipment
vendor engagement (with non-binding pricing letters from Heidelberg
South Africa and Komori Africa), and initial site evaluation across
three industrial nodes in greater Pretoria. The site shortlist comprises
three locations of which one is preferred subject to lease finalisation.
Founders have personally committed ZAR 3.0 million in equity and
bridging working capital to fund pre-launch activities. The current
capital raise will release the production-readiness phase of the
implementation roadmap.
