TOTAL (SA)

Total is one of First African Corporate Identity's longest standing clients. Back in 1990, Rimm Engineering (one of the companies we acquired as we grew and became First African Holdings), supplied Total with the red panels used on their canopy fascia and shop fronts.

We later supplied the AWLGRIP paint used to repaint signage on 600 sites across South Africa. Although this paint had a five year warranty, 12 years later many sites retain their original paintwork.
