OUR STORY

Welcome to Table Bay Cold Storage

Located just 900 meters from the harbor in Paarden Eiland, Cape Town, Table Bay Cold Storage (TBCS) has been a key player in the industry since its incorporation in June 1941 by the Michelsen family.

In August 1987, TBCS became fully owned by the Botswana Meat Commission, a parastatal of the Botswana Government. This partnership has propelled TBCS to new heights, contributing significantly to the global distribution of BMC products and enhancing the profitability of the BMC Group.
