OUR MACHINES ARE BUILT TO LAST

Welcome to our world of food and processing packaging machinery and equipment, where simplicity meets durability, and unwavering quality endures the test of time.

Our commitment to excellence begins with simplicity. Our machines are intuitive and hassle-free, allowing for seamless operation and maximum productivity. However, simplicity does not mean sacrificing quality. Our machines are engineered to be robust, long-lasting, and capable of withstanding the demands of high-volume production.

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to our customers and our meticulous attention to detail in the selection of our parts. Our founders, with over 50 years of combined experience, remain actively involved in the design and manufacturing processes at our Johannesburg factory. We are known for our ability to tailor our machinery according to a customer’s special requirements, to ensure that your unique packaging needs are met with the utmost precision. Every one of our machines utilize standardized well-built components that still remain readily available today. Every machine we create bears a unique machine number and parts list, enabling us to swiftly identify and replace any components when needed.

Choosing our machines is an investment in speed and profitability. The longevity of our machinery is a testament to their reliability and durability. When properly serviced and maintained, our machines can operate seamlessly for decades. In fact, our very first machine, crafted in 1986, still remains operational in a factory today.

We also offer the opportunity to breathe new life into older machines, by rebuilding them to brand new specifications, saving our customers the expense of purchasing new equipment, if you already have some of our machines. Our skilled team of technicians are always available to help with anything you might need.
