Cape Craft Services was established in June 2002 as a family-owned and run business. We are officially 8 years old this year! This is still true today, with Howard van der Westhuizen at the helm, assisted by his daughter Gaynor as the office administrator, and son Jean-Pierre assisting with the day to day running of the business. Other staff include Avonia, our production administrator and Bonga, our trusty factotum.
From humble beginnings Cape Craft Services has become a force to be reconed with in the laser cutting and engraving arena, having clients like Top Billing, the flagship lifestyle magazine television program of SABC (the South African national broadcaster) and internationally acclaimed fashion designers and interior decorators. Take a look under the “Media” tab to see where our work has been showcased.
As from the 1st October 2011 Christa van der Westhuizen & Riaan Nel purchased Cape Craft Services from Howard who will be taking a permanent Medical break.
