Hytec South Africa has been appointed southern Africa 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 southern Africa.
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. “In a little over a decade our customers’ installed base of Zollern equipment reached a level that required us to enter into a service agreement with the OEM,” Du Toit explains. “We are exceptionally pleased that this agreement has come to fruition as it benefits both our companies and customers across southern Africa. The support we receive from Zollern for its products and our service offering is outstanding and we look forward to working with them.”
He adds that this most recent partnership agreement illustrates the can-do attitude of Hytec South Africa and the Bosch Rexroth SA Group of Companies. “It is a win-win-win situation and is one of the ideal examples of our promise to our customers: “We Move – You Win,” he concludes.
