Gunther Blumenthal
came over to South Africa from Germany in 1936 and worked as a draughtsman
for various independent shopfitting companies whilst involving himself
in residential development in his spare time. In 1948 Gunther founded
Pan African Shopfitters in City and Suburban Johannesburg and had
a staff complement of six, and then relocated to a new facility in
Heriotdale in 1954 where they remained until 1965. Pan African Shopfitters
was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange between 1969 and 1981.
