A world-class process, inside the local supply chain

Temong exists so that a South African grower does not have to choose between a clean microbial result and a product worth eating. We run one process, we run it properly, and we are an hour from most of Gauteng.

Who we are

Temong is a herb and spice steam sterilisation business based in Chamdor, Krugersdorp. We treat product for suppliers, distributors and food manufacturers who need a microbial standard met without a chemical or a radiation source anywhere near their crop.

The name on the mark says Purity Perfected, Quality Assured. That is not a slogan we retro-fitted — it is the specification the plant was bought to meet.

Our mission

To deliver the highest standard of food safety and quality for the spice and herb industry — without compromising the product itself.

Our vision

A supply chain where natural sterilisation is the default, and where a clean label is something the process earns rather than something marketing claims.

Three countries built it. One town runs it.

Temong's steam sterilisation plant was not assembled from whatever was available locally. It was specified, built and installed as one deliberate chain.
  1. Sweden

    Designed

    The steam sterilisation plant was engineered in Sweden, where the process control that makes a gentle cycle possible was specified.

  2. Italy

    Manufactured

    The plant was built in Italy to that specification, by manufacturers who supply the European food processing industry.

  3. South Africa

    Assembled

    It was expertly assembled in South Africa and now runs from Chamdor, Krugersdorp — putting world-class treatment inside the local supply chain.

Straight answers, batch by batch

We would rather tell you steam is wrong for your product than take the booking and hand back something you cannot sell. That is the whole relationship.
