Practical, cost-saving solutions for real farming challenges
Long-standing South African manufacturer Pratley will return to NAMPO Harvest Day 2026 from 12 to 15 May in Bothaville, Free State, showcasing a range of proven solutions designed to help farmers reduce downtime, cut costs and keep operations running smoothly. A long-time exhibitor at NAMPO, Pratley values the event as a key opportunity to connect directly with farmers, co-operatives and agricultural stakeholders.
“NAMPO gives us a chance to engage face-to-face with the people using our products every day,” says Mark Bell, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Adhesives at Pratley. “It is about understanding real challenges on the ground and showing how our solutions can make a practical difference.”
Adhesives for the realities of farming
From repairing tractors and trailers to sealing water tanks and dams, Pratley’s adhesives and sealants are designed for fast, reliable fixes that save both time and money. “Our focus is simply to help farmers stay productive,” says Bell. “The quicker you can fix a problem and get back to work, the better.”
With rising input costs and unpredictable weather continuing to put pressure on the agricultural sector, practical, cost-effective repair solutions are more important than ever. “Farmers need products they can rely on in tough conditions,” explains Bell.
“Whether it is emergency repairs or ongoing maintenance, we aim to provide solutions that are easy to use and deliver lasting results.” Visitors can explore the full adhesive range and speak to experts at Stand 12 in the Nutri Feeds Hall, where the Pratley team will be on hand to offer advice and product demonstrations.
Minerals to support livestock health and productivity
Pratley will also be exhibiting some of its animal feed related products in the PIC Pig Complex at Stand 14. “Our range of zeolite-based feed additives have been developed to support livestock health and improve productivity,” says Bell. Visitors will have the opportunity to engage directly with Pratley’s team of specialists and explore how these solutions can be effectively integrated into modern feeding programmes.
Among the products on display is Clinomix®, a versatile additive suitable for both ruminant and monogastric animals. As a highly effective mycotoxin binder, Clinomix helps protect livestock from harmful contaminants commonly found in feed. In ruminants, it enhances the utilisation of non-protein nitrogen while also functioning as a rumen buffer, stabilising pH levels and reducing the risk of acidosis. In high density feedlots, it plays an important role in alleviating both acute and chronic diarrhoea, while contributing to a reduced reliance on antibiotics.
Clinoxin® is another product that will be on display, a product developed specifically for poultry, both broiler and egg laying applications. Clinoxin is designed to bind mycotoxins in feed, while simultaneously reducing ammonia levels within poultry houses and lowering faecal moisture. These combined effects support improved environmental conditions and bird health.
Trusted partnerships, nationwide access
Through strong relationships with agricultural co-operatives and retail partners, Pratley ensures its products are widely available across South Africa. “These partnerships mean farmers can access what they need, when they need it,” says Bell. “It is about making reliable solutions easily accessible.”
As the agricultural sector continues to face mounting pressures, Pratley remains focused on providing practical, reliable solutions that support farmers on the ground. The company invites visitors to connect with its teams at both stands during this year’s event. “Our teams are ready to offer advice, demonstrate products and help farmers find the right solutions for their needs,” concludes Bell.

Johnson & Johnson’s Classic Crisis Case Study: Ivy Lee may have pioneered crisis communications with the press release and Rockefeller campaign, but Johnson & Johnson perfected it during a 1982 Tylenol recall. When news of Tylenol bottles laced with cyanide created a nationwide panic, many thought J&J’s reputation would never recover. But the company’s stellar response – including national media statements, pulling all Tylenol from shelves, and introducing tamper-resistant seals – earned praise from outlets such as The Washington Post and delivered a rapid post-crisis comeback. Today, Johnson & Johnson’s recall is considered one of the most successful examples of crisis communications. (Source: PR Week)

The other thing that gives a scientific man the creeps in the world today are the methods of choosing leaders – in every nation. Today, for example, in the United States, the two political parties have decided to employ Public Relations men, that is, advertising men, who are trained in the necessary methods of telling the truth or lying in order to develop a product. – Richard P.
