The Richline Group was founded on July 3, 2007, by Dennis Ulrich and Dave Meleski when they sold their respective companies to Berkshire Hathaway. Dennis (Bel Oro) and Dave (Aurafin) were both CEOs of their respective companies and sold those businesses to Berkshire to form the larger, more diverse company Richline.
In a strategic move to expand its global reach, Richline Group, Inc. completed the acquisition of South African Manufacturing Jewelers SAMJCO, also known as Alan Mair Manufacturing Jewelers. Since 2012, Richline SA (Pty) Ltd, has made a significant impact on the jewelry industry both locally and internationally.
Headquartered in Germiston, Gauteng, Richline SA is strategically located in the Gold Zone at Rand Refinery. The company prides itself on delivering innovative jewelry manufacturing and design.
As a fully-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Richline SA has revitalised its presence in both the South African local market as well as exports to other African regions and beyond. The company’s commitment to quality craftmanship and cutting-edge design positions it as a formidable player in the highly competitive jewelery market.
At the helm of Richline SA is a team of industry veterans and visionaries who are passionate about elevating the jewelry manufacturing and design landscape in South Africa and beyond. By leveraging the expertise and resources of its parent company, Richline SA aims to establish itself as a beacon of excellence, pushing boundaries and setting new industry standards.
