A business is not only measured on its ability to satisfy customers and reward stakeholders, or on safety and environmental sensitivity, but also on how it adds value to the community in which it operates. The Middelburg community is relatively small but there are many needs.

Columbus focuses on industrial development to create employment, small business development, education and sports development.

Columbus is an active participant and key member of the Middelburg Chamber of commerce as well as Business Against Crime where we add our voice in the development of local business and the fight against crime.
