About Us | PTB Group
The Story of Protea Truck and Bus Parts
Built on Reliability Since 1997
The PTB Group story started with serving the local transport and logistics companies of Durban South, helping them source high-quality spares through better customer service. Today our brand has become the trusted partner that helps fleet owners survive the high costs of breakdowns, repairs and maintenance.
We began with the reliable Mercedes-Benz models of the 1990s, and today we provide parts for their Axor, Atego, and Actros (MP1–MP4) ranges. To help our clients keep pace, we now stock over 9,000 items, including components for Volvo, MAN, and more.
Keeping Pace with Modern Fleets
Since 1997, we’ve kept up our knowledge of new commercial vehicle models and technology. From simple mechanical assembly to today’s complex digital systems, we’re constantly updating our knowledge and product bases so that we can continue earning the trust that’s placed in us every day by our longstanding customers, some of whom have sourced parts from us for close to 30 years.
Mission
PTB’s mission is to provide quality aftermarket parts to the South African commercial vehicle industry. We are driven by a focus on accessibility, which allows us to be highly responsive to your needs. Our commitment to service excellence seeks to meet your requirements conveniently and reliably.
Vision
Our vision is to be the pit-stop of choice for our clients, a goal we have pursued since 1997. We believe this industry is about the long haul. By providing reliable products and support, we aim to keep our customers on the road.
Values
The core values that guide us are a commitment to act with integrity and to be consistently accountable. Our team strives to continuously improve and innovate while working to exceed customer expectations in the delivery of every service. Additionally, we remain focused on our professional obligations by delivering sustainable value for our shareholders.
More Than Just a Parts Shop
