Barloworld was founded in Durban by Major Ernest Barlow in 1902, selling wool products, and later engineering equipment. It was expanded by his son Charles Sydney Barlow who expanded into the sale and service of Caterpillar products. Barlow entered the motor business, and eventually expanded into the manufacture of cement, paint, stainless steel and household appliances, as well as mining, through the acquisition of Rand Mines Limited, with the new company called Barlow Rand. In November 2016, Barloworld and German company BayWa entered into a joint venture to expand their agriculture and materials handling operations in Southern Africa.
