After a few years of meticulous planning, discussions about shared goals and values, and considering the future of agriculture in South Africa, VKB officially merged with GWK on 31 May 2023 and GWK became part of the larger VKB Group. Looking back, it was always meant to happen. We've always been connected in the work we do, our vision of supporting farmers in providing food to the world, and the people in our companies making all this possible. We're proud to be part of #TheAgribusinessOfTheFuture.
About us
The VKB Group is a modern, dynamic and leading agricultural enterprise that has for the past 100 years, constantly focused on progressively managing solutions for the changing and various needs of agricultural producers and related stakeholders. Its head office is in Reitz, approximately 200km south of Johannesburg. The VKB Group as a top agricultural company, proudly boasts an extended network of industries that manages as many as possible of the commodities that are produced within its service region. Today the VKB Group can be esteemed to be a “house of brands” with a unique composition of brands of companies and products that makes the group one of the leaders in the agricultural environment. The group is also one of the prominent job suppliers in the Eastern Free State and Limpopo that employs approximately 5 500 people. The group forms the cornerstone of the rural economy in the Free State and as part of good social citizenship it increasingly invests in initiatives and infrastructure to the benefit of the communities in which it trades. At the VKB Group we are constantly seeking fresh thinking, people empathy, integrity, self-confidence and a great business head employee with a positive attitude as the most essential characteristic. Then we mix these qualities with passion and care to produce the best calibre employees for the VKB Group. Core values are what support our vision, shape our culture and reflect what the VKB Group values. They are the essence of the Group’s identity.
