It is only a shortcode builder. Kindly update/publish the page and check the actually cool timeline on front-end

The Start
12/01/2001

Channel Mteto Video Productions was established in early 2001 after owner Karien Kriel identified the need for a communication medium that would be effective across age, language and gender groups and that could easily be deployed across a wide target area. The mining industry, in particular, was in dire need of such type of communication media.

First client
28/02/2001

In February of that year, we signed on our first client, Impala Platinum Mine. At first, we only produced videos for one of the 16 shafts, but by the end of 2001, we had a contract to supply all of the company’s videos on a monthly basis.

The Team Grows
28/02/2003

Two years later, we had expanded our services to other mines and other regions in South Africa. This meant that we could create additional job opportunities and hired our first new team members in February 2003.

Investing in New Technology
30/09/2008

By 2008, we begun making use of the latest technologies to help companies communicate better internally, installing HD LED screens and multimedia players at strategic locations at our clients’ operations.

Signing on New Clients
28/10/2010

By 2010, we were contracted by most of the large platinum mining companies, including Anglo American Platinum, Eastplats, Royal Bafokeng Platinum Mine and Lonmin. Several contractor companies also begun approaching Channel Mteto to help with project update videos and company profiles. Some of these clients included the RSV Group, Murray & Roberts, Precrete and Aveng.

Our Portfolio Keeps Growing
28/10/2013

Having signed on additional clients in other industries, we began expanding our portfolio to include Special Events, Conferences and Marketing videos. We won projects with several junior miners and also began expanding into the Gold and Chrome mining sector, working with clients such as Glencore, Harmony Gold, Goldfields and Samanchor Chrome.

Innovating for the future
28/10/2019

We continue to investigate new technologies and methodologies to deliver the best products and services to our clients. Making use of wifi and network technologies and continuously upgrading our own equipment, we are able to produce high-end videos that can be distributed quickly and cost-effectively.
