EST (Pty) Ltd was established in 2007 as a co-operative buying group with the goal of empowering small and independent FMCG retailers. This was as a direct result of small businesses being dominated by large chain groups who ruled the market to the virtual exclusion of the smaller players. With the co-operative purchasing between the group and its members it has allowed and assisted smaller chains to operate more competitively within the market. EST Africa · Website
