Welcome! 

Melleware is a small appliance company driven by service and committed to supplying value for money small appliances to our customers!

We recently celebrated 27 years of service since the company started selling kettles, toasters and irons in South Africa. However, if one was to trace the history back further we would find that the company is considerably older dating back to my grandfather's days in the 1950’s as a small family operation in England. In 1984 my father came to South Africa with an imported range of 2 kettles.

A year later a small assembly line consisting of kettles and toasters was started out of a garage employing three staff with a capacity of fifty pieces a day and so the story began. 2009 marks Mellerware's silver anniversary. The brand has come a long way in 27 years yet the ethos into the 21st century…

We have come a long way since then yet some things haven’t changed. My grandfather’s values are still prevalent in the high quality yet affordable appliances that we have on offer, and he would have been especially proud of the way in which our sourcing department always finds a unique appliance to offer our customers.

Three generations in the family and the company has grown into a formidable player in the appliances market with local manufacturing, importing and exporting departments. In 2006 we were acquired by Spanish appliance giant, Taurus, which gave us access to world class testing facilities, engineers and finance. This has enabled the Mellerware brand to grow extensively within its existing product ranges  as well as expanding into many new categories.

To commemorate 27 years of service, we have aligned ourselves with communication agencies who, together with our marketing department, will be hosting numerous activities throughout the year.

We look forward to an exciting 2011 ahead filled with new products and new opportunities, here’s to 27 years more!

Yours In Small Appliances
