— OUR HISTORY
Roar, Young Lions, Roar.
Founded in 2018 to build safe, dignified spaces for the future leaders of South Africa.
Lion Industries was founded by Grant Fransman, inspired by the legacy of Ashley Kriel, whose rallying cry — “Roar, Young Lions, Roar” — continues to inspire youth empowerment across the country.
What started with an emergency housing project in Klapmuts introduced us to Alternative Building Material (ABM) and modular construction. That spark grew into a multi-disciplinary enterprise delivering infrastructure across South Africa.

Questions answered
How much does a mobile classroom cost in South Africa?
Mobile classroom prices in South Africa depend on size, specification and fit-out (lighting, ablution, fire-rating, delivery distance). A standard fire-rated, insulated mobile classroom with electrics is quoted per unit — contact us with your site and brief for a free, no-obligation quote.
Do you sell or rent mobile classrooms?
Both. We offer purchase and rental options for mobile classrooms, container classrooms, ablution blocks and feeding kitchens. Rental is popular for schools undergoing renovations; purchase suits long-term infrastructure needs.
Are Lion Industries classrooms fire-rated and compliant?
Yes. All our modular classrooms are fire-resistant, energy-efficient, and built to SANS standards. Electrical installations are SANS-certified, and we partner with SHE Group for occupational health, safety and environmental compliance.
Where in South Africa do you deliver?
We are based in Parow, Cape Town and deliver nationwide through a network of national suppliers. We have completed projects in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape (Garden Route), Gauteng and the North West Province.
How quickly can a mobile classroom be installed?
Once manufactured, mobile classrooms are transported and erected on-site within days. End-to-end timeline from order to handover is typically a few weeks, depending on site preparation and order volume.
Can you build a complete modular school?
Yes. We have delivered complete modular schools — including classrooms, admin blocks, ablutions, and feeding kitchens — in locations like Kalksteenfontein and Tigerhof in the Western Cape.
Are you registered for government tenders?
Yes. Lion Industries is a 66% Black Women-Owned entity with CIDB-graded contractor partnerships across CE (Civil Engineering), GB (General Building) and EB (Electrical Engineering). We are registered for national, provincial and municipal procurement.
