What this page is
This is the "Cornerstone Trust" post on achievement.co.za, one of AM.CO.ZA's company sites. It points to cornerstone.co.za, the news site of the Cornerstone Trust group.
Original text (as published): "Cornerstone Trust is a business group operation that keeps you updated with the latest news and developments within the organisation. As a registered trust, Cornerstone provides a platform for sharing important announcements, business insights, and group activities, fostering a sense of community and collaboration."
This Knowledge Base version expands that into a plain guide to the trust and the companies in its group.
What Cornerstone Trust is
Cornerstone Trust is a registered trust that sits at the top of a small business group. It is the shareholder of Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd, and it also owns Advanced Machinery (Pty) Ltd, the operator of am.co.za. That makes Astros Marketing and Advanced Machinery sister companies under the same trust.
In practice the companies work hand in hand: Advanced Machinery sells the machines, and Astros Marketing makes the videos and websites that show people what those machines can do.
Companies in the group
- Advanced Machinery (Pty) Ltd, trading as AM.CO.ZA. The machine supplier: CNC routers, lasers, printers, vinyl cutters, heat presses and more, with sales, training and support. See the company overview and 12 years of AM.CO.ZA.
- Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd. A Johannesburg video production and business website company founded by Cornerstone Trust, with more than 10 years in video. It produces the Achievement Matters YouTube channel, runs the Joburg Video Studio, and offers established websites to new owners through Business Websites for Sale on astros.co.za.
