About Us
A South African business with international connections.
Polysales Africa (Pty) Ltd was founded by Denver Coleman in 1992. His father Louis Coleman originally introduced the Polyflor brand into the South African market in 1958, in the same year that Polyflor vinyl sheet flooring was first produced. The business is built on close family ties between the Coleman family (in South Africa) and the Halstead family (in the UK), spanning three generations of Colemans, with Tandy, Denver’s daughter and Louis’ granddaughter now at the helm of the business.
Polysales has an extensive professional network that operates successfully throughout South Africa and the Africa regions. Over the last 30+ years, we’ve sourced various suppliers and product ranges to complement our range, to add greater value to our clients and solve problems they may be encountering.
