Who we are

We are very proud of the fact that all our mould design and production, and our manufacturing are hand crafted by South African up-skilled artisans. Under the direction of Brent Youens and professional expertise of Claude van Rooyen, an intuitive, formidable man of some 50 years experience in the pattern making industry, Igneous has enjoyed product integrity and consistency. Over time, we have also trained and accredited an apprentice pattern maker; specialist spray painters (who apply our final finish and outer sealant) and specialist laminators for both the mould development and production processes. Our production facility outside Durban is now efficiently led by Kelvin Pillay, ensuring high quality end product and firm completion to time lines.  
 
Igneous has also developed a reputation for excellent customer service and after sales care. We are known for meeting deadlines, attending to any problems or issues timeously and effectively, taking great care in detail and generally adapting to meet a client’s need.  
 
Our in-house experience also extends from our sister company JNM Construction, owned by brothers Brent and Oliver Youens, both civil engineers with over 20 years experience in engineering and contracting. We have first-hand, day-to-day understanding of the rigours of the construction environment and therefore highly respect the nature of the work and its constraints.
