Company History;
Bronyx was registered as a Close Corporation on the 22nd March 2005 and with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority as a Security Service Provider on the 8th June 2005.
The name Bronyx (pronounced “Br-on-nix”) originated from then Managing Member, Mr. Aidon R. Lippstreu’s, previous two registered German Shepherd Dogs, “Bronx Von Talhof” & “Onyx Von Goldveldt” which have both since passed.
Bronx was aptly named after the rough and tough New York borough of the same name (three qualities of the G.S.D. found here; courage, combativeness and toughness) and Onyx after the gemstone, as found in the Bible, of alternating black & white parallel bands (the G.S.D. black/ tan colour & beauty depicted here).
The combination of these two to form the name Bronyx has meant to illustrate the tough cultural, economical & environmental diversity within which we found ourselves each day in South Africa but to which we may combat and solve together.
The company now trades as Bronyx Security and the first order of business officially began on the 5th September 2005 with a one - man guarding site at the then Lippstreu Motor Centre.
Clients also include Cerebos Ltd, Big Daddy’s & Preston’s Liquor Stores, Danoher Trust, Port Elizabeth Multi Franchise & Isivivana Private Hospital.
