Foodspec / Silesia – Best of both worlds

40 years of successful cooperation in South Africa!

The story started during the seventies, when the late Mr Hans Werner Olsen, a German citizen from Hamburg, moved to South Africa to work in the dairy industry.

He was only supposed to stay in the country for a couple of years, but he decided to start his own business and named his company Foodspec. He went into partnership with Mr Gino Ramasray, an Indian South African who used to work for an international dairy equipment company and the business relationship soon developed into a close friendship.
