Handles Knobs and Antique Furniture Accessories
Press Up Industries is a wholly owned South African company, established in 1989 and based in Cape Town.
Initially, we developed an exclusive yet comprehensive range of antique Edwardian and Victorian period reproduction handles, drop handles, knobs, escutcheons and hooks (“The Classic Collection”). Before this range came into being, period furniture craftsmen struggled to obtain hardware to replace those broken or lost from original pieces with handles which were durable, cost effective and pleasing to the eye. “The Classic Collection” solved these dilemmas and our product grew in popularity.
Since these early days, Press Up has been working hard to increase our product range and those familiar with our goods will see that our products now cater for a broader base of customers and more contemporary applications. Added to our ever popular French, Traditional and Brassware Ranges (including solid brass cup and pin casters) are newer ranges of Rust, Porcelain and Crystal/Glass Knobs.
Our product is manufactured of die cast or spin cast zinc, pressed strip steel or brass and we plate in-house to a variety of beautiful finishes. We have also developed a distressed white finish, dubbed “Antique White” and a durable, applied, “Rust” look finish, both of which are proving immensely popular.
We invite you to browse our online catalogue to see our full range of products and finishes.
We supply our handles to furniture restorers, kitchen manufacturers and installers, large retail outlets, specialist decorative hardware stores and DIY enthusiasts both locally and abroad and have the capacity and capability to supply timeously in large bulk-packed quantities or in smaller volumes.
It has always been the nature of our customer’s requirements that has governed the direction of our business. We welcome any enquiries for new products which we are able to manufacture to your specifications. We value and appreciate the creative input of our customers and invite you to continue to make us aware of anything that will minimize your cabinet hardware challenges.
As we strive to conduct our business with pride, honesty and integrity, we are confident you will enjoy dealing with us and we look forward to developing a mutually beneficial relationship with you.
