Its diversified portfolio spans two main segments—business services and trading and distribution—structured through seven key divisions: Services South Africa (security, aviation security, coin processing, drones, air cargo, travel, hospitality, catering, laundry, and landscaping via brands like Bidvest Protea Coin, GPT, Rennies Travel, and Execuflora); Services International (integrated facilities management, cleaning, hygiene, pest control, waste management, and technical services via Noonan, PHS Group, Bidvest Facilities Management, Prestige, Steiner, and BIC Services); Freight (bulk liquid and dry terminals, logistics, port services, container handling, stevedoring, and marine services via Bidvest Tank Terminals, SABT, Bulk Connections, and Bidvest International Logistics); Financial Services (banking, fleet finance, foreign exchange, merchant services, insurance, and wealth management via Bidvest Bank, Compendium, FinGlobal, and Bidvest Insurance); Commercial Products (electrical, plumbing, power tools, PPE, packaging, materials handling, catering equipment, and leisure products via Voltex, Plumblink, Matus, Renttech, Vulcan, G Fox, Berzacks, and Yamaha); Branded Products (office products, furniture, automation, print, packaging, labelling, consumer appliances, and household goods via Waltons, Konica Minolta, Cecil Nurse, Silveray, Kolok, Lithotech, and Home of Living Brands); and Automotive (motor retail of 26 brands including Toyota, Ford, Nissan, and Mercedes-Benz, plus vehicle auctioneering via Bidvest McCarthy and Burchmores); the Group also holds a 58% stake in JSE-listed Adcock Ingram, a pharmaceutical manufacturer marketing healthcare, personal care, and homecare products like Panado and Citro-Soda to private and public sectors.
