The yeast industry is a high-tech industry, which through the years has benefited from scientific advances in the field of bio-technology. This technology has ensured that the various yeast strains meet the needs of local and international yeast users.

Anchor Yeast's philosophy of investment in technology and R & D has resulted in modern, automated and computer-controlled manufacturing plants in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. This enables flexible manufacturing of both high volume and speciality yeast products, which meet a wide range of needs and specifications ranging from baking and brewing to wine, whisky and bio-control industries.

We attribute our success as leaders in yeast technology in South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa to a combination of stringent quality control measures, quality raw materials, high-tech manufacturing techniques and advanced automation. Our commitment to meeting customer needs, through continuous innovation and the highest possible levels of service, are further reinforced through our quest to obtain ISO 9001:2000 accreditation.

Modified atmosphere and vacuum packing technology are both features of Anchor Yeast's packaging operations, ensuring product freshness and longer shelf life.

Anchor Yeast has moved into the new millennium with the advantage of a solid heritage and a dynamic approach to the challenges of a new era in the world economy.
