The Ingeli Group originated in 1952 with a timber treatment plant in Harding, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa.

The family business grew and expanded by purchasing farm land and increasing the treatment plant capacity. The Ingeli group has changed much over the years, having restructured the family businesses. The group has diversified from timber farming to various agricultural businesses and hotels in and around the Kwa-Zulu Natal province. Ingeli group prides itself by partnering and investing with the right people.
