Nigel Brown Moulds has built a reputation as one of South Africa’s trusted specialist manufacturers of concrete moulds supplying high-quality tooling for the precast concrete industry from its base in George, Western Cape.
The business is known locally and regionally for durable, well-crafted moulds that serve construction, infrastructure and industrial precast producers looking for accuracy and longevity in their tooling. This has led to the growth Nigel Brown Moulds which has grown to produce a wide range of concrete product moulds to help manufacturers create standard and specialised concrete components economically. The most popular products include:
• Concrete block moulds — standard and custom block configurations for boundary walls, retaining structures and interlocking blocks for landscaping and paving.
• Paving and slab moulds — production tools for garden pavers, patio slabs and decorative concrete units that meet exact shape and size specifications.
• Test cube moulds — essential for civil and commercial concrete testing, ensuring consistent sample sizes for strength testing and quality control.
• Specialised forms — including “fancy cap” moulds and other bespoke dies tailored to customers’ plans or architectural requirements.
Nigel Brown’s moulds are predominantly used to cast fresh concrete products that go into building walls, blocks, boundary structures and paving and serves both small-scale producers and larger manufacturing operations that rely on repeatable quality tooling.
“What makes our products popular beyond the Garden Route is our focus on robust construction and precise dimensions in moulds that are easy to use and this helps producers maintain tight tolerances and reduce waste in precast production. Our moulds withstand repeated use under pressure and vibration to create consistent components and ours are crafted with this durability in mind,” says Nigel Brown Moulds founder and namesake, Nigel Brown.
He adds that the company’s tooling has found favour with manufacturers across South Africa and further into neighbouring Africa and global export markets, who value affordable, dependable moulds that stand up to harsh production conditions. Locally the company’s products help reduce dependence on imported moulds to shorten lead times and lower freight costs which are significant benefits for producers on the continent.
