Flocare started as Soliflo (Pty) Ltd in 1984 when it took over the interests in SA of the British Steam Specialties Group.

From 1984 to 1998 the company was involved in the marketing of the products of the members of the BSS Group.   Most notably the fluid control products of Rhodes and the KEK/Mucon solids processing and handling equipment. While operating a contract solids processing plant in Wynberg, Sandton,  Soliflo was also a partner in a sugar product plant in Swaziland called Sunshine Sugars. It also added the agency for the Kanon range of fluid loading equipment.

In 1998 the name Soliflo went with the transfer of the major capital equipment marketing activities to set up a new company. Flocare was formed to look after the component spectrum and it added further products to its portfolio. Then the solids handling ranges of Kemutec was put under a sister company called Mucon which is now the responsibility of DC Weighing.

In 2005 it was decided to relocate the head office to the village of Hoekwil on the Garden Route where full contact is maintained with our customer and supplier bases through the internet and phone etc.    

The operation is augmented by our Stores facility in Emmarentia which successfully imports, stores and distributes our product lines.
