About the KSA

The mission of the Kitchen Specialists Association (KSA) is to create a professional and stable trading environment in which the industry can prosper and consumers can enjoy complete peace-of-mind.

The KSA has two independent Associations, being Gauteng & Cape Town  (Reg no. 89/06481/08) and Kwazulu Natal  (Reg no. 97 08661/08). Both Associations operate together as we pursue the same interests and share resources as well as having a national committee.

As an independent body and non-profit organisation, the KSA is able to offer the potential kitchen, bathroom and built-in cupboard purchaser some sound advice with regard to choosing a suitable company.

Each member has satisfied a stringent checking procedure before they can join, and more importantly, has to maintain the high standards the KSA insists upon or risk being expelled from the association.

The KSA has a broad membership representation including affiliate members who supply to the kitchen, bathroom and built-in cupboard industries.

 

Why purchase your kitchen from a KSA member?
 

  • You have the security of knowing that you are dealing with a company with an established reputation.

  • The company with which you are dealing is registered as a company or a closed corporation, and has been in existence for a minimum of three years.

  • All members have been recognised as specialists in the area of Kitchen Design, Manufacture, and Installation.

  • The members have all shown their commitment to the consumer by signing our code of ethics.
    Through the affiliate members, these companies are regularly updated with information regarding the latest developments in products, materials and technology.

  • The Association has formed links with similar bodies internationally which keep members appraised of trends throughout the rest of the world.

  • You have the peace of mind in knowing that if a dispute should arise, you have recourse to the Association. All members are bound by any ruling handed down by the KSA.
