Many of you will be aware that the concept of introducing 1.0 metre wide plasterboard into the market has been a passion of Pelican Systems owner and founder Rodney Gould for almost 10 years. During this time both South African plasterboard manufacturers were approached with the new concept, but both declined the request to produce 1.0m wide plasterboard stating that the risks and difficulties were too high. After more than 18 months of negotiation with our suppliers of JUMBO Board, the 8mm TE 1.0m JUMBO board is finally a reality and we would like to thank all those who contributed during the many discussions, and more recently during the product testing stage over the last three months with the 2000 sample boards. Those who know Rodney Gould know that he is above all passionate about the industry and not averse to taking risks. A forward thinker and entrepreneur we hope that this will be one of his most significant ideas and contributions to the industry.

Many of you will be aware that the concept of introducing 1.0 metre wide plasterboard into the market has been a passion of Pelican Systems owner and founder Rodney Gould for almost 10 years. During this time both South African plasterboard manufacturers were approached with the new concept, but both declined the request to produce 1.0m wide plasterboard stating that the risks and difficulties were too high. After more than 18 months of negotiation with our suppliers of JUMBO Board, the 8mm TE 1.0m JUMBO board is finally a reality and we would like to thank all those who contributed during the many discussions, and more recently during the product testing stage over the last three months with the 2000 sample boards.

Those who know Rodney Gould know that he is above all passionate about the industry and not averse to taking risks. A forward thinker and entrepreneur we hope that this will be one of his most significant ideas and contributions to the industry.
