QUESTIONS
About Jurgens Trailers
The first Jurgens trailer was manufactured some 60 years ago at the first Jurgens factory in Germiston. As Jurgens got more and more into the manufacture of caravans, trailer building became secondary until Steelworx a division of Jurgens Ci was formed in 2007. In four short years thereafter the Jurgens trailer range became the best selling range in South Africa and the leader in overall sales.
