From Dragons' Den Triumph to Environmental Impact: Dilex Purification, an Accelerator Success Story
Overview
Dilex Purification , based in KwaZulu-Natal, joined our Accelerator Programme this year. As a 100% Black-owned business specialising in hydrocarbon and hazardous waste processing, Dilex embarked on a transformative journey through rigorous screening and capacity building, culminating in a compelling business pitch aligned with customer needs.
Outcomes
Dilex's journey reached new heights at the DCC's annual "Dragons' Den" event, impressing industry giants; FFS Refiners, H&R Africa, NCS South Africa, Sherwin-Williams, and SAPREF. Dilex secured the title of "Best Environmental Sustainability Solution."
Business Breakthroughs
The Accelerator programme has been a game-changer for Dilex. They've unlocked pivotal opportunities, forging partnerships with industry giants like FFS Refiners and NCS for various waste processing services.
Impact
The accolades didn't end there. Dilex is now a proud Durban Chemicals Cluster member, securing ongoing mentorship and upgrading support through the Accelerator. This strategic partnership positions them to stabilise delivery, scale production, and meet the evolving needs of their illustrious clientele.
Regulatory Milestones
Dilex's success isn't just about business prowess; it's also about responsible and compliant operations. With the support of the Economic Development Unit at eThekwini Municipality , Dilex has obtained their "scheduled trade permit."
This marks the first milestone on their journey toward acquiring a "waste transport permit," a crucial step in adding even greater value to their customers and unlocking further commercial opportunities within the local chemicals industry.
