Our Company and Products

Southern Oil is a modern oil extraction plant and edible oil refinery situated in Swellendam and are committed to the provision of the Healthier alternative oils.

In 1993 the first canola crop was planted in South Africa. Three years later Southern Oil Ltd (SOILL) was built with the objective to process locally produced seeds and stimulate the growth of this new product. Seeds coming from the farmers in the Overberg region are graded, cleaned and stored in silo's until used for manufacturing. The final product is refined, bottled and branded with our B-Well label.

Brief history of Southern Oil Ltd

Southern Oil Ltd is a modern extraction and refinery plant situated in a picturesque village called Swellendam - the 3rd oldest town in South Africa and gateway to the Garden Route. The first Canola was planted in 1993 in South Africa. Southern Oil Ltd was established in 1996. The aim was to produce Canola Oil to supply the local market. SOILL now supplies both Nationally and Internationally.

The Canola plant bears a bright yellow little flower that when it blooms during July to September paints the environment into beautiful yellow valleys. The seed comes from pods.

Our flagship brand is B-Well. The B-Well Canola Oil is the only oil sold in South Africa that is endorsed by CANSA. Some of the imported Canola Oil has been genetically modified but Canola Oil produced in SA is 100% GM free. Southern Oil has diversified into the manufacture of other edible oils and related products. Other brands include Fry-Well, a less expensive and yet high quality oil, Cater-Well, a specialist frying oil supplied to the catering trade and Canega, a product for the Equine market. We supply the animal feed industry with our high protein Canola Oil Cake

Southern Oil Limited is now an established company and is currently in its 10th year of production. Today, we can say with pride that the company is well established in the marketplace. B-Well Canola Oil achieved 9.8% of edible oil sales in Pick & Pay in 2008. A few of our other clients are Woolworths, Ina Paarman, Unilever, Nestle, Spur, Continental and Epic.

SOILL stands for health, quality, a respect for the environment and for the community. The company strives to grow, not only financially but also in the development of the workforce, the community and the customers.

Health and Wellness are important features of our products. Canola Oil is undeniably the healthiest oil available in South Africa and we have now added B-Well Grapeseed Oil. This gives the consumer another healthy choice.

It is our intention to lead the way in the Healthy Oil market. Watch out for more exciting launches.
