Through BMG’s acquisition of Rustenburg Engineering and Joerg Foundry, the company is now a major player in the foundry industry. “This strategic investment in a dynamic sector of the engineering industry broadens BMG’s product range to include the supply of SG and cast iron components and products to OEMs and end-users,” says Anton Kritzinger, general manager of Rustenburg Engineering, which now forms part of the Engineering Solutions business segment of Invicta Holdings.
This acquisition is also a boost to the Fenner brand. BMG is the exclusive distributor locally of highly acclaimed Fenner products. Joerg Foundry has been manufacturing Fenner Power Transmission components under licence since 2011 and this new agreement provides exciting opportunities for all companies. “Fenner conveyor belting products, which include steel cord and solid woven conveyor belting, are manufactured at the Fenner Isando plant. However, whenever castings are required, we are able to source them from Rustenburg Engineering and Joerg Foundry,” continues Kritzinger.
Rustenburg Engineering and Joerg Foundry has manufacturing facilities that include a no-bake resin sand foundry for jobbing and short runs and a green sand foundry for production runs. The company’s expertise covers a range of capital equipment and consumable components used in diverse sectors. Typical products cast include wheel hubs, rod ends, torque plates, castle nuts, brake shoes, bearing and motor housings, rail components and flange couplings, as well as pulleys, valve bodies and diaphragms. The company also manufactures mill and barrel liners, wear plates, chill moulds, crane wheels, sheaves and bearing housings.
