Plastimed Pty (Ltd) - South Africa

A company that first opened its doors in 2015, Plastimed is a proudly South African story of humble beginnings and solid determination. Back before the titles of Director and CEO, Mohammed Rishaad Joosab had two goals, to rise to the challenge of creating a successful business and to be able to empower other South Africans. He realised the best way to do this was to use the knowledge he gained through his degree in Business Management and Marketing, to create his own uniquely South African corporate company. One that would fulfil his aim of uplifting poverty in South Africa by helping small businesses prosper. With this intention he began his first venture into producing and bottling sauces. A good first business to begin with, it helped Mohammed Rishaad realise that there was a growing demand for the bottles he packaged, rather than the sauces themselves. A budding entrepreneur, he saw this as a golden opportunity and redirected his focus into a new company, Plastimed.
