Popsprint and Stationers was formed on the 1 March 1995 by Mr. Virend Ramdhni (Pops), who prior to that date was employed by Grindrod Printing as a Divisional Manager. After serving the Gindrod Group for 16 years, the company took a decision in 1995 to outsource the printing function. After protracted negotiations agreement was reached whereby Mr. Ramdhani would purchase the entire printing division and retain the Grindrod Group as its prime customer. This saw the birth of Popsprint CC with an initial work force of all 11 people from Grindrods premises in Maydon Wharf. With his inherent skill, knowledge, determination, and experience in the printing industry, Pops Ramdhani embarked on his vision to grow the business through increasing its customer base and diversifying the product range. In addition to general printing, Popsprint now supplies continuous paper, printed stationery, office stationery and computer consumable to corporate companies and State Owned Enterprises. Popsprint is 100% Black owned, managed and staffed and it falls within the scope of Previously Disadvantaged Individuals (PDI's) as classified by the government.
