Growing Our Footprint in Johannesburg

We proudly marked another milestone in our 75-year journey with the official opening of our newest retail outlet at Deco Park in Johannesburg. The launch represents more than the addition of a new store. It reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing premium South African towels closer to customers across the country.

For more than seven decades, we have been a trusted name in South African homes. Through both Glodina and Colibri Towelling, we have built a legacy of exceptional quality, comfort and craftsmanship. Our products have become part of the everyday lives of generations of families.

Commenting on this milestone, Nick Vandayar, Executive: Sales and Marketing said, “As we celebrate 75 years of Glodina, we remain committed to honouring our heritage while embracing new opportunities for growth and innovation. Our Johannesburg outlet forms part of our long-term vision to expand our retail footprint and make our products more accessible to customers nationwide. By establishing a presence in one of South Africa’s leading commercial centres, we are strengthening our connection with consumers while creating a destination where they can experience the superior quality of our towels firsthand.”

We chose Deco Park as the ideal location for this expansion because it represents innovation, growth and opportunity. These values align with our ambitions as a proudly South African manufacturer. Our new retail space has been designed to offer customers an immersive shopping experience, allowing them to see, touch and experience the craftsmanship, softness and quality that define the Glodina and Colibri Towelling brands.

This achievement would not have been possible without the continued support of our valued partners, including the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). Their investment in local manufacturing enables businesses like ours to innovate, expand and contribute meaningfully to South Africa’s economy. We are grateful for their ongoing partnership and shared commitment to strengthening local industry.

Most importantly, we extend our sincere thanks to our loyal customers. Your trust and support over the past 75 years have shaped our journey and continue to inspire everything we do. We also recognise our dedicated employees, whose passion, expertise and commitment have made this milestone possible.
