Industrial equipment company opens new Wadeville sales office

Industrial equipment sales and rental company Renttech South Africa launched its new sales outlet adjacent to its premises in Wadeville, Ekurhuleni, last month.

The facility has convenient access for many industries in the area, as well as power generation projects and local refineries, and represents the latest step in the company’s investment in growth across many sectors, including industrial, mining, petrochemicals and power generation.

This move also comes in the wake of the opening of a number of local and Pan-African branches to meet the needs of industries around the country.

“Our vision for the future is to reach a new ‘high’ in customer support and service. Our new, centralised sales facility in Wadeville promises to bring our Gauteng customers greater convenience and the widest available range of equipment in the market,” said Renttech MD Gerrit van Zyl.

He added that the company planned on expanding its footprint into Africa and would open an office in Mozambique within in the next year.

“We recently opened an office in Namibia and we conduct business in a host of African countries,” he told Engineering News.

The company’s in-house technical know-how was on display at the launch of the new sales outlet, where customers and guests were able to get a feel for the equipment through live demonstrations and interactions.

“Our sales specialists are known for their expert advice and in-depth knowledge of each item of equipment. This is the result of a long-term commitment to ongoing training and a companywide focus on customer service,” said Renttech welding product manager Johan Bester.

Having been involved in a number of projects in the petrochemicals sector, Renttech provides both on-site support and easy accessibility to critical equipment, such as power generation, welding, pneumatic power tools, such as the Kuken brand, and personal protective equipment during refinery shutdown periods.

The company also has an ongoing contract for the Medupi and Kusile sites, where it provides welding equipment during downtime .“We also supply equipment and consumables to various other shutdown projects, providing on-site technical support and easy access to industry-critical equipment, such as generators and welding power sources – with the aim of minimising downtime,” says Van Zyl.

The company’s portfolio of generators includes its sought-after range of diesel-driven generators, which meet both domestic and commercial and industrial demands. Renttech’s diesel-driven generators range from 5 kVA to 1 000 kVA, and include an extra-heavy-duty ‘rental spec’ series for extreme conditions.

“We are excited to bring our range of best-in-class products and solutions under one roof at our new flagship facility. We believe the benefits of this development will further position Renttech as the first choice in industrial equipment rental and sales in South Africa,” he concludes.
