Unica Plastics Helps Hire Companies Stock Up on Chairs for December

For South Africa's event hire companies, caterers and venue managers, December is the busiest month on the calendar. Year-end functions, school prize givings, church events, family gatherings and festive parties all land in the same few weeks, and the businesses that supply the seating have to move more chairs, more often, than at any other time of year. Unica Plastics, the Pretoria West manufacturer of injection moulded plastic products, is using November to help those businesses plan their stock with the details that matter most in a peak month: how high the chairs stack, how much weight they carry and how easily they travel.

The company's range has been made locally since 1998 for both the South African market and cross border buyers, and its chairs are a familiar sight at functions across the country.

Storage and transport decide the peak season

When bookings stack up, the real constraint for a hire company is often not the number of chairs in the warehouse but how quickly they can be loaded, delivered, set out and collected. A chair that stacks well takes up less space on a truck and in a store room. A chair that is light and easy to handle speeds up set up at the venue. A chair that is strong and stable reduces breakages and replacements after a long season.

Unica Plastics designs its range with these practical needs in mind, using quality raw materials, expert technical teams and rigorous quality assurance at its Pretoria West factory.

The Rocky Chair: heavy duty and high stacking

For buyers looking at plastic chairs for sale that can handle constant use, the Rocky Chair is built for heavy duty work. It has a load bearing capacity of 200 kg and a reinforcing rib structure that adds strength and keeps the chair sturdy, even on slick surfaces. Its ergonomic seat and back rest support the lumbar spine and offer a pressure relieving seating surface, which helps at long functions where guests are seated for hours.

For a hire company, the most useful number may be the stacking height. The Rocky Chair stacks up to 20 high for easy storage, and it has a handle on the back rest for easier handling when moving stacks on and off vehicles. It measures 440mm wide, 400mm deep and 425mm high and is available in black, maroon, dark green and dark blue, with special colours made on order. Its curved, soft design suits settings from formal functions to trendy cafeterias.

The Tiffany Chair for formal year-end events

Formal dinners, award evenings and festive weddings call for a more decorative look. Unica Plastic Moulders manufactures tiffany chairs locally, making the company's version a local take on a chair that has become a global favourite for weddings and events. The Unica Tiffany Chair has a complete steel frame finished with powder coated paint to prevent rust, and it also carries up to 200 kg.

It stacks up to 10 high for storage and comes in gold, silver, white, red and black, which gives hire companies and décor teams options for different themes across a busy month. For a business that supplies both casual and formal events, keeping a mix of Rocky and Tiffany stock allows the same team to cover a school function in the afternoon and a gala dinner in the evening.

Lightweight options for fast set up

The Best Chair was designed to meet the needs of the events and catering industry. It is lightweight, which makes it easy to store and transport, and it has an ergonomic seat and back rest design. For caterers who set up and strip down several venues in a day, a lighter chair can save a great deal of time and effort.

The Unica Party Chair, one of the first products the company developed in 1998, remains the go-to seating solution for parties countrywide. Its long presence in the South African market means many hire companies already know how it handles in storage and on site.

Seating beyond the function hall

The broader range covers other parts of the year-end calendar too. The Lawn Chair and the Econo Shell Chair offer further everyday seating choices, the Revo Stool suits bar and counter areas, and the Greenfield Stadium Seat serves sports venues. For businesses looking for a single plastic chair supplier, having these options from one local manufacturer simplifies ordering and keeps colours and quality consistent across a fleet.

Unica Plastics also manufactures Desk in a Box, an all-purpose desk created in 2017 for homes, schools and businesses that takes just 10 minutes to assemble, along with fold-up tables, homeware such as laundry baskets, basins and buckets, and a locally manufactured 240 litre wheelie bin designed with sanitation in mind. The 240 litre bin is easy to clean and maintain, which makes it useful at large events where waste builds up quickly.

Planning ahead for the festive rush

With December weeks away, Unica Plastics is encouraging hire companies, caterers, schools, churches and venues to review their seating stock now. Counting damaged chairs, checking colour mixes for the events already booked and planning storage around stacking heights can all reduce pressure when the busiest weekends arrive. Ordering early also gives time for special colours made to order, where required.

Because the company manufactures locally in Pretoria West and supplies both local and cross border customers, buyers can speak directly to its sales consultants about quantities, colours and delivery for their region.
