Hugh Whitty
Chairman
He began his career in the 60s within metal distribution with Alcan Aluminium. Thereafter, he spent 17 years at Jackson’s metals (a large South African stainless steel and aluminium distributor) where he rose to Marketing Director. When Jackson’s Metals was absorbed as part of a merger, Hugh decided to pursue an entrepreneurial direction, founding Energy Engineered Products (now EMVAfrica) in 1992.
Since then, he has guided the company from a small importer of stainless materials to a significant stockist and distributor of a wide range of stainless steels and valves. In 1997 Hugh co-founded Multi Alloys, which today is a leading supplier of specialist alloys. In 2018, three companies combined under the EMVAfrica brand.
