Bulldog Group Co.
About Us
The Bulldog Group Co. functions as a holding company that provides strategic direction, governance and oversight, as well as business development and management support to the following operating businesses:
Bulldog Abrasives Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd
Bulldog Abrasives was established in 1995 to represent Mirka as the sole distributor for abrasives in Sub-Saharan Africa which it has done with great success over the last 25 years. In 1997 Bulldog Abrasives was acquired by present management and over the years has continued to expand its product range with the aim of building a one-stop solution for its customers.
To this end the focus has been to supply high quality competitively priced products that are supported by a team of skilled technical staff. The business initially focused on the automotive industry, DIY, woodworking and composite markets. By aligning the business with globally recognised suppliers, Bulldog has managed to set itself apart by supplying a comprehensive range of market leading and innovative products.
RSB Auto and Industrial
In 2009 RSB Auto Group secured the distribution rights for R-M paint from BASF and commenced trading in March 2010. The company was formed primarily to become the sole distributor of R-M Automotive Refinishing Paints in South Africa, but rebranded in 2019 to RSB Auto and Industrial, as they expanded their range to include Glasurit’s 68-Line, a BASF brand focused on the industrial markets, offering fit-for-purpose solutions to an array of market segments including heavy-duty coach building, commercial automotive, steel fabrication and structural engineering, amongst others.
What started in a small shop in Germiston in Gauteng, has extended their national footprint to become the number one premium automotive paint supplier in South Africa, with branches in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Cape Town and Bloemfontein.
