Murra & Roberts
Annual Review 2002
  Two Sides of the Same Coin

  The value chain defined by the extraction, beneficiation and industrialisation of natural resources is the central market arena for the pursuit of Murray & Roberts’ strategy.

The construction economy in its broadest context is the entry platform we choose for engagement of the front-end of this value chain, primarily within developing economies.

Our manufacturing capability in South Africa is the platform from which we leverage our products into developed markets.


In Murray & Roberts’ business model, we have concentrated our high-level value proposition between projects and products as forming two sides of the same coin.

The projects sector comprises Building & Civil Engineering and Industry & Mining serving the growing socio-economic needs of developing economies.

The products sector comprises Supplies & Services and Fabrication & Manufacture serving the large consumer markets of developed economies.

Our long-term performance target is to exceed 20% return on shareholder funds through leveraging the entire value chain as defined.
