How Lenvalco started.
Lenvalco Readymix pride ourself on quality and service with an emphasis on meeting our client’s needs. We have been operating in the Overberg region for more than 20 years.
Len-val-co name origin
“Len” is Stuart Byrne’s father who is 89 years young and fit. “Val” is Stuart Byrne’s late mother. “Co” is Stuart and Sanet Byrne family. The original company was established in 1967 which in turn evolved into Lenvalco Readymix. Lenvalco name origin reflects the deep value and respect for our parents and family insofar as all our employees are viewed as part of the Lenvalco family.
In 2024 we embarked on re-evaluation to incorporate the new legislation of our current government. To this end we established the Lenvalco Empowerment Group NPC, which is currently a level 3 contributor. The two entities, even though seperate, operate under one identity as per the latest 2024 BEE requirements.
You, our valued customer, will always be viewed as an extention of the Lenvalco family.
