Since 1983
Keeping it in the family
Pon Steyn Motors is a family owned business established in 1983 in Somerset West under the name of Steyn’s Motors. The business was started by Pon Steyn and his older brother, Piet Steyn 34 years ago.
In 1994 the two brothers went on their separate paths. Pon bought the Mondeor Road property and started Pon Steyn Motors.
The company has grown from having only two employees to nearly thirty. Pon Steyn Motors has become one of South Africa top suppliers in Military spares and Land Rover spares and services. The company has grown substantially in its offering and has kept ahead of its customer’s needs.
In 2010, Pon Steyn son Arno Steyn joined the company as a part of the management team. He is currently responsible for running one of the two divisions in the company. Pon is planning to hand over the leadership reins to his son in the next 10 years. Four years ago Pon’s younger brother, Christo Steyn also joined the company and has brought with his 20 years’ experience in running his own construction company.
Together the leadership team has over 60 years’ experience in business management and are good mix of generations; each bringing their own unique contributions and expertise to the company.
