C&H Joinery was founded in Bloemfontein in 1990. The company originated as a manufacturer of cupboard components for the fast growing townhouse and retirement home market. Above projects included the final installation and quality control of the seperate units.

The founder members were the late Mr. HSvH Nienkemper, an attorney, and Mr. CS Nienkemper, a B.Sc. (Physics) graduate.

During 1991 the company started a division to manufacture solid pine cupboard doors for the export market. This involved a capital layout of R0.5m and included various research and development processes.

After the successful completion of several export contracts, the owners utilized the facility to start a wooden window and door manufacturing plant, which still supplies windows and doors in the region, Lesotho, and Southern Africa.

Since 1994 the company started to focus more on specialized joinery projects and tenders for several contracts were awarded during the past 11 years

During 1999 an office was opened in Nelspruit Mpumalanga from where work for Sivukile Stocks & Stocks at the Riverside Government Offices Complex was done. Further work in the region is currently being negotiated.

Beginning 2001 a Namibian Company was registered with an office in Windhoek from where a project in Luderitz was executed.
