As part of its continued growth across the African continent, the Zest Weg Group has drawn subsidiary company IMS Cape, the oldest and largest generator set manufacturer in Cape Town, into its corporate brand. The business is now known as the Zest Weg Group’s Generator Set Division.
The generator set division team in Cape Town.
“As a Group we are experiencing real growth, both in South Africa and in other parts of the continent, and our brand is becoming well recognised in the region,” explains Gary Daines, Zest WEG Group’s sales and marketing director. “At the same time, the genset business has evolved into a genuine solutions provider and, as such, is very much a part of the Group’s total solution. At this point it makes sense to incorporate this business into the group brand.”
The Zest WEG Group acquired the generator business in 2007 from the IMS Group of companies and, with subsequent significant investment in both infrastructure and manufacturing plant, has developed it into a specialist supplier capable of designing and custom-producing generator sets to suit specific applications. The division’s capacities are available in either stationary or portable configurations from 20 up to 2500 kVA and can be increased upwards with multiple synchronised sets.
Key sector users of generator sets produced by the Zest WEG Group’s Generator Set Division include telecommunications, mining, municipal, retail and shopping complexes, marine, hotels, offices, hospitals and clinics. This technology is also being increasingly required in the energy, industrial and petrochemical sectors.
Integrated packages include mechanical and electrical manufacture and assembly as well as electronic design incorporating control panel manufacture. The division also provides supply and installation of transformers, cabling, bulk fuel systems and sound attenuation with standby generators on a turnkey basis, together with project management, installation, commissioning and maintenance.
To date the division has supplied equipment throughout Africa, as far afield as Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana and the DRC.
