About

The Catapult Group Pty Ltd. is a South African company specializing in premium building products and services, with a focus on sustainable infrastructure and urban development. The Catapult Group Pty Ltd. operates in the construction sector, providing essential building materials.


The company is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. It has not undergone significant changes in its strategic direction. The company was founded by individuals with experience in the construction industry and has established itself in the market with a total of 1 deal recorded, the most recent being on May 27, 2025. The Catapult Group specializes in a range of premium building products and services, primarily focusing on enhancing sustainable infrastructure and urban development.


Its core offerings include high-quality plaster and silica sand produced through significant operations conducted by its subsidiary, Sky Sands, which annually generates around one million tons of material. These products serve various construction applications, catering to a diverse clientele that includes contractors, developers, and local governments in sectors such as residential, commercial, and civic construction. The company aims to address the increasing demand for sustainable and innovative building solutions, particularly in markets across Africa, the USA, and Europe. By consolidating top-tier brands under its Catapult Building Brands division, the Group enhances its ability to streamline product availability and expand its global presence.


The revenue model of The Catapult Group is structured around B2B transactions, where clients typically engage in direct purchases of building materials and services. The company operates on a pricing strategy that encapsulates both bulk sales and specific product offerings, ensuring competitive pricing for high-demand items. For example, when a construction firm engages with Catapult, it may place large orders for plaster and silica sand, which are delivered directly to construction sites. The transactions are facilitated through established partnerships with distributors and retailers, enhancing the company's reach within the market.


Notably, Sky Sands plays a pivotal role in this revenue structure, with its flagship products contributing significantly to the overall financial performance of the Group. In May 2025, Kholo Capital, through its Kholo Capital Mezzanine Debt Fund I, and Maia Capital provided ZAR 250 million in The Catapult Group Pty Ltd. The financing will support the company's growth, refinance its existing senior debt, strengthen its cash flow flexibility, and further its expansion. The company plans to launch new products designed to meet evolving market needs.


Additionally, it aims to expand its presence in new markets, particularly targeting regions in Africa, the USA, and Europe by the end of 2025.
