What began as a small operation on the Van Randwijk family's smallholding has evolved into a market-leading manufacturer that has maintained unwavering product quality while achieving the highest level of food certification globally.

Since its acquisition by the Basamh Group in 2009, Thokoman has scaled production capacity while keeping its focus on what matters: delivering accessible, high-quality peanut butter to South African families.

"Our sole purpose is to produce peanut butter that is of the highest quality using the best ingredients, which consumers will taste and love," said David Sieff, head of marketing for Thokoman Foods. "Twenty-five years of consistency speaks to more than just taste, it reflects our commitment to food safety, rigorous testing, and continuous improvement in how we serve South African households."
