History and Location

Davro was established in the latter part of 2003 by husband and wife team, Dave and Marian Watson in Durban, South Africa.

TPR compounds were produced, predominantly for the shoe component markets. In March 2016 Davro was acquired by the Hobart Group through one of its subsidiaries Anchor Chemicals (Pty) Ltd and established as Davro Compounding. During the last quarter of 2016 Davro Compounding installed the latest technical compounding equipment accelerating it into the arena for advanced technical compounds. Through the Hobart Group sales and distribution network, Davro Compounding supplies the shoe component market plus specialised technical compounds to the South African and International markets.

In preparation for the expansion plans, Davro relocated to new premises and is currently located at 8 Stockville Road, Westmead, Pinetown.
