About Us
ROOTED in Family.
Built for community.
King Brands is a family-owned business led by brothers Keith and Gary, who share a deep passion for creating meaningful change in homes across South
Africa. Their mission goes beyond security and shelter. It is about helping families make the most of their spaces.
Our business is grounded in strong community values. Inspired by the Setswana principle of ikageng, which speaks to confidence, self-discipline and self-expression, we believe in improving quality through teamwork and collaboration.
King Brands is committed to uplifting the people around us. The majority of our staff are hired from the local community, and we proudly run an accredited training programme designed to continuously grow the skills of our team.

Protecting what's important
During this time, our offices were broken into. The assailants bypassed what we believed to be the most robust and advanced security barriers on the market — with minimal effort. Coupled with poor service from the supplier, the experience became a
turning point and inspired us to create our own range of security barriers.
In 2000, we manufactured and installed our first retractable barrier. By 2003, the King
Trellis brand was officially launched. That same period saw us acquire land in Lanseria, where we broke ground on a dedicated manufacturing facility. In 2004, it became our new home.
Weathering all seasons
In 2007, we transitioned from a sole proprietorship to a closed corporation, firmly establishing the King Trellis name in the market. Guided by our strong engineering roots, we continued to grow the brand without losing sight of quality and innovation.
By 2009, we had expanded our national footprint and developed a dedicated reseller network, extending our presence across South Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and the United States. During this period, we also launched All Seasons, a range of sun control systems that has since grown into a strong competitor in the industry.

our vision for the future
In 2020, as the world entered lockdown, we took the opportunity to reflect on our journey and define a clear strategy for the next 21 years. This period of introspection led to the conceptualisation of King Brands, a unified vision that brought our brands together under one identity.
We also began centralising our internal systems to align more effectively with our manufacturing processes, laying the groundwork for a true manufacturing powerhouse.
Looking ahead, we remain focused on advancing our engineering expertise and developing new products that meet the evolving needs of our clients. Our commitment to quality, service and reliability remains unwavering. Maintaining trust and credibility in our brands is, and always will be, fundamental to who we are.
