OMSA opens new office complex in style
January 2006
News
Siegfried Errath, managing director of the OMSA Group of companies officially opened its new office complex in Fountainebleu, Randburg, with panache and style on 11 November 2005. Guests arrived to the beating of drums, and faced numerous South African themed bars around the property; were welcomed by traditional Zulu dancers and later danced to top jazz entertainers until the early hours of the following morning.
OMSA opened its doors in April 1974, with one product range, and now some 31 years later it now represents Gemü, Interapp, Praher valves, Flowmetrix SA, KSR Kuebler, Honsberg, Abnox, Farval, Delimon, Steimel, Seim and Mahle and recently acquired a local company, Clearflo Solutions. It prides itself on its engineering ingenuity and quality products.
Siegfried Errath said: "I believe that OMSA and its team offer a first class service to industry. We are successfully competitive, and our expansion into this new office complex is evidence of that. Our 24/7 services to you all remains - no matter where, when and at what time, if you need assistance or advice from the OMSA team, we will be available."
The new complex offers larger stock storage - having at any given time over R10 million worth of stock - and a brand new online testing facility. OMSA offers in-situ testing of its products as well as a trial-and-see service.
