Hyflo proudly converts to Festo

February 2016 News

Festo South Africa recently appointed the Bearing Man Group (BMG) as one of its official logistics distributors. With over 100 BMG branches nationwide, this strategic appointment significantly enhanced convenience to Festo customers throughout South Africa.

Having a keen eye for growth opportunities, BMG recently purchased Hyflo, a supplier of both hydraulic and pneumatic automation solutions. With a national footprint established over more than 40 years, Hyflo’s service levels have positioned them as a respected and trusted distributor within industry. Its branches in Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg and Namibia, cover the primary industrial development hubs, ensuring keen alignment with industry and direct involvement in manufacturing automation technology.

As part of the BMG Group, Hyflo has now been afforded the opportunity of becoming a certified Festo Distributor. With its primary focus on continually exceeding in excellent levels of customer service, Hyflo jumped at the opportunity and have already started supplying Festo control and automation solutions.

Hyflo managing director, Helmut Peter Schwabe, said, “Being a Festo distributor brings the significant benefits of dependable supply and service convenience, from one of the strongest and most trusted names in industry. Therefore, with immediate effect, we will concentrate our primary focus on the sale and supply of Festo components, with a very limited transitional crossover from SMC Pneumatics to Festo. We would like to reassure our clients that our high levels of service and performance delivery will not waver over this time. Thanks to modern technology, we have very convenient tools at our disposal to assist and aid us through an almost seamless transformation process of product replacement.”

Brett Wallace, managing director of Festo stated, “The management team at Festo would like to welcome Hyflo into the Festo family. We shall endeavour to support them to grow market share and we wish them all the success for the new and exciting opportunities that lie ahead.”
