FABRINOX, a proudly South African manufacturer, is growing from strength to strength with the successful completion of the second phase of its development journey, and phase 3 well on its way.

In October of 2020 it consolidated its two manufacturing divisions by moving the manufacturing facility to a group owned site previously focused on project management and installations. Phase 2 was completed in 2021 with the construction of additional roof space that increased the manufacturing division’s capacity to address the growth in market demand. Phase 3 is in progress with a further 2 500m² of land acquired for additional expansion.

“This expansion is the cornerstone of Fabrinox’s growth strategy, building on our success as an internationally renowned fabrications specialist. Through this consolidation and our investment in new innovative technology, we are proud to be able to offer our customers more value for less” explained Andre Visser, CEO of Fabrinox.

The company will be celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2023 and remains committed to a customer centred culture that continues to address the custom manufacturing and fabrication needs of its local and international customer base, which spans six continents.

“What differentiates Fabrinox from our competitors is our ability to offer our customers complete and flexible manufacturing solutions, superior quality products and services with express delivery times at a competitive price. Our reputation as an industry leader is built on our experienced experts who provide guidance and technical advice to help customers navigate current market conditions and industry challenges” said Visser.

Fabrinox currently provides custom manufacturing, project management and procurement, drawing office assistance, global installations and documentation services, with additional services being added later this year. The comprehensive manufacturing landscape allows the company to service diverse industries which include, but are not limited to, agriculture, water treatment, food and beverage, railway and mining sectors amongst others.

“Our decision to commit to internationally recognized quality management systems has helped us open doors to global markets. To ensure customer and related requirements are fully met through the production process, our services are offered within an ISO 9001, ISO 3834 and EN 15085 environment” commented Visser.

The company’s manufacturing arm produces high accuracy sheet metal and tube components for local and international OEM’s using the latest technology laser and bending machines as well as surface finishing. These components can further be assembled into value-added sub-assemblies through cold forming, precision welding and bead blasting. For safety purposes and to validate the final products, mechanical testing is available onsite.

The projects and installation divisions assist OEM’s with end-to-end project management and procurement, under-license manufacturing, commissioning and spare parts, while eight global installation teams, trained by multi-nationals, travel the world to install manufactured equipment. To date Fabrinox has completed installations in over 35 countries worldwide including North America, China, Russia and the UK.
