Actom Group division, Marthinusen & Coutts has secured three separate contracts from SASOL for the repair of low voltage motors, the repair of medium voltage motors up to 1 MW and the repair of medium voltage motors from 1 to 5 MW.

According to Richard Botton, managing director of Marthinusen & Coutts, the company is known for its technical ability and the provision of a superior quality and technical service, and the award of these contracts is testament to its extensive capabilities. “Marthinusen & Coutts has worked with SASOL for many years and is regarded by the organisation as a highly competent and technically qualified OEM repairer.”

The company underwent a lengthy prequalification stage whereafter its facilities in Cleveland were audited for quality, as well as technical capability and capacity. “Our ability to comply with SASOL’s demanding specifications and to render complex repairs in accordance with the necessary quality was a big differentiator for us. We can leverage an impressive 57 years of industry experience in both the local and global market as Africa’s largest medium voltage machine repairer,” adds Botton.

Marthinusen & Coutts is Level 4 BBBEE rated, ISO 9001 accredited, holds SANS 1561 LV motor repair, SANS IEC 60079-0/1 flame proof and SANS IERC 60079-15 non-spark permits and has been awarded a five-star NOSA rating.
