Growth pressure pushes completion of new premises forward
Third Quarter 2006
News & events
Construction of the premises for one of South Africa's largest cylinder manufacturer and repair facilities, Hytec Engineering, a Hytec Group member, is being fast-tracked to accommodate growing demand flowing from the company's on-going expansion into Africa. Capable of the complete design, manufacture and repair of hydraulic cylinders, the company has been successful in recent years in breaking into the highly competitive mining and earth moving markets.
Hytec Engineering's new premises situated in Spartan, Johannesburg, due to be completed within the next few months, will house a dedicated repair facility under one roof, with services ranging from assessment and quotation to chroming, grinding, machining and assembly. This will not only serve to further shorten lead times, but should see improved process control, ensuring that the company continues to deliver quality repairs.
Hytec Engineering has vast experience in mining and earthmoving repairs with the emphasis on 'Repair to Standard' solutions. The company has representation in every southern African country, including Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, and is also represented as far afield as Ghana West Africa.
As one of the few cylinder manufacturers and repairers in South Africa to offer full design capabilities, incorporating the latest CAD software, the company has the ability to provide a broad range of designs. It manufactures cylinders with drawings and offers a reverse engineering service where appropriate. The company offers faster lead times and competitive pricing by importing its own raw materials comprising honed and unhoned tubing, chromed shafting and seal kits.
