Our Story.

 

Eighteen years ago, a young couple with their little boy packed their bags for America. They weren’t going on holiday—they were chasing a dream. For three weeks, they searched for inspiration, hoping to bring back an idea that could change their family’s future in South Africa.

 

Two weeks in, nothing. Doubt crept in. Had they made a mistake? But then, almost at the end of their trip, a small moment changed everything. At the entrance of a cruise ship, they were told to sanitise their hands—something completely foreign at the time. They stood in awe as the device released a small stream of liquid that vanished seconds later. What seemed ordinary today felt like magic then. And in that magic, they saw possibility.

 

It took nearly two years of persistence, courage, and countless obstacles before they finally secured the rights to bring the product to Africa. With no promises, no guarantees, only grit, they built the brand from the ground up. Against all odds, they became one of the top distributors in the world for the American company—and hand sanitiser became part of South African life because of them.

 

But then tragedy struck. The owner of the American company, a man they deeply respected, passed away. When new leadership came in, everything changed. Their hard-won partnership was gone, and so was the certainty of their future.

It was their son—still young, but wise beyond his years—who reminded them of their strength. “Why not create something of our own?” he said. That spark lit a new fire. What followed were years of research, sleepless nights, and sacrifices. And then, finally, their dream became real: Healthy Splash. A proudly South African touchless sanitising system. Designed here. Patented here. Made here.

Friends rallied around them, helping navigate the tough road of certification and distribution. Slowly, their little dream grew into something much bigger—trusted by hospitals, corporates, universities, and beloved brands across the country. More than a business, it became a family, a legacy, and a source of jobs for fellow South Africans.

 

And still, they kept pushing. In 2023, they set out to create another first. Two years later, in 2025, they introduced their innovative lift-to-use activation manual dispenser.

Simple. Effortless. Revolutionary.

All done with our Lord and saviour and a great team.
