DML AGENCIES

DML Agencies was established in 1987 by, Dawood Lockhat.

Having worked in the retail and wholesale sectors from the age of seventeen, his passion grew. His working experience includes the Game Group, Knowles Group, Pepsi Bottling Company, Lysta Zips, Tayob Textiles and Kwality Biscuits.

DML Agencies was the sole and exclusive distributor of Kwality Biscuits in KZN and grew the brand to one of the leading in the province, with KZN consistently being responsible for more than 50% of the national turnover.

Today, our aim is to provide a strong and vital link between manufacturers and retailers of all sizes.

When we started in 1987 we operated out of a premises of 250 square meters, with one bakkie and a receptionist. The company has made tremendous inroads in the field of warehousing, sales and distribution. Today our warehouse and storage availability is in excess of   3000 square metres.

Our staff has grown to include an admin team, a sales team, as well as in-house marketing, research and development and legal teams.
