JK Productions describes its approach as practical, detailed and client-focused. The business grew from Jeremy Kusner’s background in theatre, arts, electrical engineering, project management, sound and lighting, and has developed over 17 years from a one-person operation into one of the largest and most unique businesses of its kind in South Africa. The company highlights its own fleet of delivery vehicles, in-house workshops, custom manufacturing ability, professional rehouse and office facilities, electronic quoting system, staff training, large self-owned stock holding and Level 2 B-BBEE status.

Delivery is offered mainly to the greater Johannesburg area, with out-of-town events possible at increased cost due to additional logistics.
