Rittal South Africa, a leading provider of solutions for industrial enclosures, power distribution, climate control, and IT infrastructure has established a new branch in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). This brings Rittal closer to its growing customer base in the KZN region. “We have expanded into KZN to meet growing demand from the region. It’s a major manufacturing hub in South Africa, and comprises prominent industries such as sugar, forestry, petrochemicals, automotive, steel manufacturing, plastics and packaging, paper, and also food and beverage. It’s also home to two major ports for import and export,” explains sales manager, Jason Osner.
The Rittal KZN team has already successfully completed a number of service projects in the region, particularly in the dynamic food and beverage sector, and Osner notes that the sales team has seen a steady influx of enquiries. For businesses based in KZN and the Eastern Cape, the establishment of Rittal’s new branch also means rapid availability of stock, including Rittal’s market-leading range of top quality, German-manufactured stainless steel enclosures. “We’re able to deliver stock fast. Off-the-shelf enclosures can be delivered within 24 hours, while those requiring modifications using our Perforex CNC machine can be delivered in 36 hours,” says Terrance Buddingh, KZN sales representative. “We also have a fully equipped workshop and training facility, and have appointed two service technicians, enabling us to extend the Rittal support, distribution and service network across the region.”
