From humble beginnings in 1988, with only one agency, to the successful company we are today makes Spartan Equipment a competitive force in the poultry industry in Southern Africa. Neil Malan purchased Flupearl (Pty) Ltd. t/a Spartan Equipment in 1988. At the time the company was situated in Halfway House (an area halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria in South Africa). The company name was changed to Midrand Poultry Supplies t/a Spartan Equipment, a name more descriptive of the industry. Six years later the company relocated to Blue Hills, Midrand and is still trading from these premises. In 1992 Phillip Bronkhorst joined Midrand Poultry Supplies (Pty) Ltd. as a business partner. Since then Spartan Equipment has acquired 8 additional agencies and maintained the relationship with original agency Choretime Brock. Today Spartan Equipment is wholly owned by the Bronkhorst Family Trust.
