About Us

 

The South African Cork Council is a not-for-profit organization whose members import, distribute and sell natural corks in South Africa while complying with the requirements of the Cork Council. All members elect a steering committee on the yearly AGM, their job is see to the operational running of current events. In addition, two independent members representing the wine industry serve on the Council. It has been well respected winemaker Francois Naude and Dr Ockert Augustyn of Nietvoorbij since inception of the SACC.

Dr. Augustyn has resigned recently and was replaced by Charl Theron of the University of Stellenbosch.
We are very thankful for the great experience that Dr. Augustyn has brought to the SACC during his involvement.

Members whose operations and products comply fully with the quality standards set by the Cork Council, qualify for becoming accredited members of the Cork Council and using its seal of quality.
