BMG expands its footprint in KwaZulu-Natal
BMG has recently expanded its operation in KwaZulu-Natal, with the relocation of its Regional Service Centre (RSC) and the opening of two new facilities, in September 2023.
“This expansion programme was necessary for the KZN operation to meet significant development in the region and greater market demand for engineering consumables and support services,” explains Keith van Wyk, BMG’s Regional Manager, KZN. “The consolidation of BMG’s KZN workshop facilities and field services into a centralised hub over seven years ago, resulted in massive growth for BMG and it became necessary to expand the operation from one facility into three, to accommodate further expansion.
“The BMG Springfield sales branch has moved from Imvubu Park to Riverhorse Road, while the engineering facility – which incorporates the Fluid Technology and Geared Drives divisions – is now situated at a new 1 810m2 and facility in Mahogany Ridge. The Materials Handling, Gaskets and Chain sectors of the business are now located in a 1 100m2 modern, well-equipped workshop in Westmead.
“The Mahogany Ridge operation, in conjunction with the Westmead facility’s materials handling, gaskets and chain technical teams, provides assembly, repair, maintenance and support operations, to ensure optimum performance of every component.
“Our two new technical support facilities operate closely with 11 dedicated BMG KZN branches, to meet every customer’s specific requirements. Benefits for customers include improved service, repair and delivery efficiencies, centralised technical support and easy accessibility to BMG’s comprehensive range of quality branded components.
“In addition, our new KZN facilities are conveniently situated close to major highways, providing easy access for BMG’s broad customer and supplier base. As part of our commitment to offering dependable engineering solutions that optimise productivity at every plant, the BMG team in KZN also offers in-house staff and customer training at the regional training centre at the Riverhorse Valley branch.”
