Hydraulic and Automation Warehouse (HAW), a Bosch Rexroth Africa group company, has incorporated Power Team SA’s SPXFLOW and Bolting Systems into its offering. The strategic incorporation of this range of high-force precision tools and workshop equipment from SPXFLOW Hydraulic Technologies complements HAW’s extensive range of hydraulic components. It will also provide even more turnkey solutions for clients in the maintenance, mining, power generation, construction, and port industries.
All existing orders will be honoured, together with any work in progress, which will be carried out in the Group’s ISO-accredited repair centre. The two companies are working in tandem to address all back orders received. “We would like to assure our client base that, as a leading component supplier with distribution outlets across Africa, we envisage a seamless transition. This will ensure that clients benefit from HAW’s African distribution network and in-house expertise,” said HAW General Manager, Werner Joubert. “The current high standard of service will be maintained during this transition and into the future.”
The company’s five strategically located branches in Johannesburg, Middelburg, Cape Town, Pinetown and Gqeberha, together with its distribution network throughout Africa, will ensure that industries across the continent get the products they need quickly and efficiently. “HAW and Power Team SA are committed to making the transition as smooth as possible for all clients and employees,” Joubert concluded.
