Consumer
The Consumer pillar is Origin’s largest – it spans flexible packaging, specialty industrial components, premium surface solutions, high-performance coatings and chemicals.
These businesses share a common thread: they provide essential products to large, recurring end-markets with high switching costs, value chain integration, and embedded demand. The pillar combines defensive cash generation with meaningful growth optionality.

Union Tiles is a market leader in premium tiling and surface solutions, with deep Italian heritage dating back to the early 20th century. With over 104 years of consistent profitability and intimate industry knowledge, it is one of the most trusted names in the South African building materials sector.
The business delivers an extensive portfolio of tiles (wall, floor, large-format), pavers, terrazzo, mosaics, natural stone surfaces, sanitary ware, and bespoke cladding.
Serving both residential and commercial sectors, it provides full-scope support from material selection and technical guidance to installation systems including floor rejuvenation and raised flooring. With branches and showrooms across South Africa and Namibia and a growing online presence, Union Tiles continues on its growth trajectory and record of profitability.
Taigan M-Stretch
Taigan M-Stretch is a manufacturer and supplier of multi-layered stretch film to logistics, manufacturing, and FMCG operators across Southern Africa.

As an enabler of everyday commerce, its products play an indispensable role in keeping goods protected and supply chains moving.

Winmar services blue-chip clients in mining, construction, and agri-processing with a tailored range of industrial essentials, including signage, coatings, chemicals, and protective equipment. With more than 30 years of trading history and deeply embedded customer relationships, it has become the preferred last-mile supplier in regions where original equipment manufacturers cannot reach.
Winmar's market position is built on reliability, breadth of product offering, and intimate knowledge of its customer base. The business generates stable, recurring revenue with low customer churn and strong cash conversion.

With high regulatory barriers to entry, strong upstream integration, and an expansion-ready footprint, Pro-Paint is positioned to scale into adjacent markets while maintaining its leadership in quality and reliability.
Industrial
Origin’s Industrial pillar is anchored by CSP Engineering, a capital-backed business at the heart of essential infrastructure and specialised fabrication.
With deep technical expertise, entrenched client relationships, and long-term resilience, the pillar delivers margin stability, dependable cash flows, and scalable growth. Positioned across South Africa’s key economic corridors, it is aligned with the country’s ongoing infrastructure renewal cycle.

Property
Origin’s Property pillar comprises a strategically located portfolio of commercial, industrial, and retail assets across South Africa, with key properties in the prime Bedfordview (Gauteng), Paarden Eiland (Cape Town), and Ballito (KZN) commercial nodes.
The portfolio represents a cornerstone of balance sheet stability and long-term value within the Group.
Phoenix Properties
The property portfolio, held through Phoenix Properties, spans approximately 70,000m² of gross lettable area, of which 60,000m² is currently leased and income-generating. A further 10,000m² has been earmarked for future buildout or tenant-led development, creating optionality for expansion and value unlocking.
Spread across South Africa's most desirable industrial and retail corridors, the portfolio spans Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape. The properties are situated in prime commercial nodes such as Bedfordview, Ballito, and Paarden Eiland and enjoy immediate access to major arterial routes. This geographic diversification provides stability and positions the portfolio at the heart of South Africa's trade and transport network.
The income profile is anchored by a stable, diversified tenant base across manufacturing, distribution, and light industrial sectors. High occupancy levels, embedded rental escalations, and long-term lease agreements drive consistent, predictable cash flows. Low churn rates underscore tenant stickiness and asset quality.
On the balance sheet, the property division provides a secure foundation of hard assets delivering both stability and optionality. Beyond dependable rental income, further value can be unlocked through targeted redevelopment, tenant-driven expansion, or refinancing opportunities.
