The recently introduced Invicta 8-bolt BL78 frame is one of many innovations developed in response to local market demands in the wake of the 2008 appointment of Zest Electric Motors as the African distributor of Invicta vibrating motors. “The Zest WEG Group is a company fully focused on the needs of the African market, primarily in the mining sector,” says sales and marketing director, Gary Daines. “Over the past few years we have grown exponentially, both in South Africa and in countries such as the DRC, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya and Zambia.

“Our relationship with Invicta has contributed in no small part to this growth. There is tremendous synergy between our two companies, particularly in terms of the type of customers we serve. We are enjoying an excellent uptake of Invicta vibrator motors and have established a large stockholding to support these customers across our branch network of seven outlets.”
During a recent visit to Zest WEG Group, Sam Pask, commercial director, and Anthony Bailey, managing director of Grantham Engineering in the United Kingdom, of which Invicta Vibrators is a division, concurred that the business culture of the two companies is extremely similar. “In addition to high levels of synergy with market segments, Zest shares Invicta’s ideals on customer service, stockholdings and after sales service,” says Bailey. “Since being appointed our African distributor, Zest WEG Group has performed phenomenally, taking vibrator motors to a new level in this region.”
Invicta are specialists in the design and manufacture of electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic vibrator motors for the material handling and processing industries. Zest WEG Group includes among its major customers BHP Billiton, Sasol, AngloGold Ashanti, Xstrata and Vale.
