Phoenix Brushware has been operating for over 60 years and is the largest brush manufacturer in Zimbabwe. Originally, all products were handcrafted but with expansion, machines have been introduced without losing the care and attention of earlier times.Initially, all man-made fibres were imported but in 1992 Phoenix commissioned an extrusion line for the manufacture of monofilament and has since become a net exporter throughout the SADC region.Roto Plastics, manufacturers of a wide range of plastic products, are a division of Phoenix Brushware Company. The containers vary in size up to 2 000 litres and are made using the rotational moulding process. They are highly resistant to deterioration from chemical reaction and are ultra violet stabilised, thus rendering them impervious to the effects of long hours of sunlight.Omega Plastics ( 1991) Ltd, which specialises in rigid packaging for the cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical industries, is also a division of Phoenix Brushware Company.All products are marketed locally and regionally. To ensure effective market penetration, products are distributed through hardware dealers, supermarkets, wholesalers, DIY stockists and distributors and directly to industrial users.
