The company also provides regular inspections and maintenance services to ensure that all equipment remains in optimal working condition.

According to alternative access manager for SGB-Cape, Cobus Joubert, the company is committed to providing the highest quality products and services to its customers. He explains that this new addition to the company’s service offering demonstrates its commitment to keeping its clients safe.
