ABOUT US

The Kaufmann backstory is deep-seated in the heritage of South African agriculture communities. Our range started with HARDWARE and tool products made for farmers looking for reliability and affordability. The brand grew from strength to strength, thanks to its growing reputation, and expanded to include OUTDOOR and GARDEN products.

We continue to be inspired by self-sufficient South Africans who shape a better future through being problem solvers, plan makers, risk takers, and doers. This can-do attitude is evident in the way we approach challenges and find solutions.

Kaufmann's range, approach to products, quality and value proposition match this sentiment and confidence and seeks to enable more people to take action and build the lives and experiences they dream of.

Kaufmann has been providing hardware, garden and outdoor products to nature-and-outdoor-loving, adventurous, hands-on South Africans for over 27 Years.
