South Africa


Media24 has a majority interest in the Paarl Media Group. It is one of the most extensive commercial printing operations in South Africa. This national, multi-faceted group has ten specialised printing plants that provide a comprehensive range of printing facilities. The national network based in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Paarl, Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth provides the ability to print in different locations on identical platforms. This enables the delivery of cost conscious products in the fastest time at the client’s doorstep across the country.

The application of advanced, automated technology throughout the printing process improves efficiency and lead times and guarantees consistent high quality results on nearly any format. Level Four BEE accreditation and value adding supplier status ensure that 125% of procurement spend with Paarl Media will apply towards the client’s own BEE scorecard. Total empowerment shareholding in the Paarl Media Group is currently valued in excess of R1 billion.

As a proudly South African company, Paarl Media acknowledges the importance of preserving the natural resources that sustain all life for future generations, and recognise their responsibility towards the achievement thereof. Paarl Media is committed to the implementation of environmentally sound business practices to minimise their ecological impact. The group was the first in Africa to achieve FSC CoC certification.
