Gemilatex Male Condom Manufacturing Plant, South Africa

Delivering a purpose-built facility to support local condom manufacturing in South Africa.

Client

Gemilatex

Project date

2017-2021

Gemilatex commissioned the development of a male condom manufacturing plant in South Africa to support local production and reduce reliance on imports. The facility is designed to meet international standards for medical-grade manufacturing while contributing to public health and economic development.

The opportunity

South Africa has a high demand for male condoms as part of its public health strategy. However, much of the supply has historically been imported. The opportunity was to establish a local manufacturing facility that could meet national demand, ensure quality control and create employment opportunities.

What we did

Zutari provided multidisciplinary engineering services for the project, including:

  • Structural and civil engineering

  • Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design

  • Utilities and building services

  • Site development and bulk earthworks

  • Compliance with health and safety regulations for medical manufacturing


The facility includes production areas, quality control labs, packaging zones and administrative offices, all designed to optimise workflow and hygiene standards.
A purpose-built facility designed to meet international standards for condom manufacturing.

The outcome

The Gemilatex plant is now a fully operational manufacturing facility capable of producing high volumes of male condoms for distribution across South Africa. It supports the country’s health initiatives, boosts local industry and provides skilled employment in the region.

Zutari’s engineering expertise enabled the successful delivery of a specialised industrial facility that meets stringent health standards. The Gemilatex project is a model for how infrastructure can support both public health and local economic development.

Local manufacturing of medical-grade products strengthens public health systems and supports economic growth.
