Undrive Electric Motors is determined to keep each of its customers satisfied by always delivering more than it has promised. Established over three decades ago, the company is now black female owned and youth led, and continuously strives for excellence to ensure sustainability in a male dominated industry.

Unilever South Africa is amongst the customers that have been with Unidrive throughout the years and sings its praises when it comes to availability, reliability and quick turnaround time. “Unidrive has been our supplier for over two decades and they have never failed us. The company constantly delivers on all our requirements and the team works around the clock to ensure the best service in the industry,” says Mackenzie Gabela, electrical specialist at Unilever’s Boksburg plant.

Unidrive Electric Motors services Unilever with flameproof electric motors that meet all the required safety certificates on the Unilever plant. Gabela further adds that electric motors sourced from Unidrive are crucial in ensuring that the operations are functioning at all times on a 24 hours, 7 days a week cycle. The motors control all conveyor belts, taps, toasters and extractor drives throughout the Boksburg plant.

Unidrive has also granted young men and women the opportunity to harness their skills in the industry through internship programmes offered at the company. Even new employees at Unidrive follow the high service standards that have been set by the company.
