Deutsche-Kap-Asbest-Werke / Kapasit Asbestos (Pty) Ltd. plant at Phillippi, Cape Province

In March 1981, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that Deutsche-Kap-Asbest-Werke, a West German maker of asbestos products, had moved its entire operation to Phillippi, near Cape Town, South Africa, where "a new factory is under construction at a cost of R1.7-million."1 The journal said the factory would produce asbestos yarns and fabrics for local use and for export, would be run by the newly formed Kapasit Asbestos (Pty) Ltd., and "will employ 200 workers."1 The journal describes the factory only as being built, not as open.1

You don't need the product names or old records. No fee unless we recover compensation for your family.
