Hytec appointed service partner to Zollern
May 2019
News
Hytec South Africa has been appointed the southern African service partner to the Drive Technology Unit of Zollern. The partnership allows Hytec South Africa to sell, execute inspections, and conduct maintenance, repairs and other services on Zollern gearboxes and winches across the region. The appointment came into effect on 30 November 2018 and is valid for five years. Over the period, Zollern Drive Technology will provide full support in terms of technical manuals and drawings, as well as spare parts for the service, repair and maintenance of the equipment.
Initial training on Zollern equipment was conducted by the company’s service personnel in Hytec’s Cape Town branch. The company’s repairs manager in Cape Town has continuous communication with Zollern and receives information on repairs when necessary.
Hytec South Africa supplies Zollern gearboxes to end-users for cranes, winches and drilling equipment as part of its gearbox range, and has been conducting any required repairs at its Cape Town and Johannesburg operations since 2007. “The difference now,” explains regional manager, Iaan Du Toit, “is that we can provide this service across the sub-continent and are not restricted to servicing only the Zollern equipment that we installed.”
Hytec South Africa’s history with Zollern dates back to 2007, when the company provided spares and assistance for projects undertaken by Zollern in South Africa. “In a little over a decade our customers’ installed base had reached a level that required us to enter into a service agreement with the OEM,” says Du Toit. “We are exceptionally pleased that this agreement has come to fruition as it benefits both our companies, as well as customers across southern Africa. The support we receive from Zollern is outstanding and we look forward to working with them for the next five years, at a minimum, as we are aiming for contract renewal once the current contractual period expires.”
