Hytec Services Africa (HSA) has officially appointed Hilmax as its distributor in Zimbabwe. The family-owned Hilmax, which has hydraulic hoses and fittings as its core business, distributes the entire range of Hytec products. HSA sales supervisor, Petrus Viljoen will attend to the Hilmax business on a monthly basis.
Clockwise from top l: Patrick Musavaya, operations director, Hilmax; Gary Shaw, Africa development manager, Hytec Services Africa; Petrus Viljoen, sales supervisor, Hytec Services Africa; Pascal Musavaya, CEO, Hilmax.
There are a number of reasons why we believe Hilmax is well suited to represent the Hytec Group in Zimbabwe,” says Viljoen. “Apart from its core business in hydraulic hoses and fittings, the company has strategically placed operations to service the mining industry, with a primary focus on servicing this industry’s hose and fitting requirements. The company’s client base comprises customers that HSA would naturally target and this will aid in facilitating the rollout of Hytec products.”
Customer requirement surveys will provide the necessary information to determine the appropriate stockholding for Hilmax. In the interim, all stock will be delivered from South Africa as necessary. This provides an ideal opportunity for Hilmax personnel to acquire essential product knowledge, with training facilitated by HSA. “Hilmax’s client base comprises practically the entire hydraulic industry in Zimbabwe,” Viljoen points out. “The company will be able to increase its growth opportunities by supplying the Hytec Group’s full range of hydraulic, pneumatic and automation products.” Hilmax’s appointment coincides with its 20th year of operation.
