Our history
Arena trims
Arena Trims was founded by Kevin Naidoo in 2003. Mr Naidoo was employed at The Beier Group, and after gaining many years of experience, he saw the vast potential for industrial development in South Africa. Pursuing this vision, he established Arena Trims, which continues to grow and thrive.
Arena Trims Protective
In 2007, Arena Trims manufactured dust masks. During the critical time of COVID-19, Mr Naidoo tapped into his knowledge and experience in this field to provide masks to protect the country. Working with the BBF Safety Group, Arena Trims Protective manufactured a range of masks for their Nikki brand, as well as our own mask brand under ‘Arena Air’.
Arena Footwear
Arena Footwear was established in 2014 by Sharon Naidoo and is managed by Kevin Naidoo. The purpose of the business is to provide CMT (Cut, Make and Trim) assistance to the BBF Safety Group. This entails the sewing of safety uppers to their renowned styles, such as Bova Brands, Maverick, Sabaton and Neoflex. Arena Footwear currently has a manual and automated line that manufactures more than 1000 pairs per day.
