We supply packaging machines to six South African regions and eight countries in Southern Africa, from one workshop in Johannesburg.
We deliver and install from Riversands in Johannesburg. What changes between regions is the freight time, whether a site visit happens before the quote, and how a service call is handled.
Walk-in showroom at Riversands, with installation across the Witwatersrand as a drive rather than a freight booking.
Just down the N1, so site visits before quoting and follow-up calls are both a drive.
Road freight from Riversands, with your product run and filmed at the workshop before anything ships.
Road freight from Riversands, with the machine specified to suit your plant conditions before the build.
Road freight from Riversands, with export and OEM pack specifications worked to rather than around.
Straight up the N1 to Riversands, close enough that watching your product run is a drive rather than a flight.
Cross-border orders are quoted to our Johannesburg workshop, and you arrange transport from there. Each page below sets out that country’s corridor, border posts and delivery towns. The process itself — clearing, air versus sea freight, installation and visas, spares, warranty and payment terms — is set out in our guide to exporting packaging machines from South Africa.
Cleared at Beitbridge. Our largest market outside South Africa.
Roughly 1,900 km to Lusaka through Chirundu or the Kazungula bridge.
Roughly 360 km to Gaborone, the shortest cross-border run we make.
The N14 through Nakop and Ariamsvlei, roughly 1,400 km to Windhoek.
A 550 km run to Maputo on the N4, with ports at Beira and Nacala much further on.
Roughly 360 km through Oshoek, or in via Golela for Manzini and Matsapha.
Roughly 440 km to Maseru, crossing at Maseru Bridge or Ficksburg.
Three border posts through the Tete corridor, about 1,800 km to Blantyre.
How we quote, ship, clear, install and support a machine going across a border, and which costs sit with you.
The same four machine types lead almost every enquiry we take, wherever the plant is. Flow wrap, vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal, and shrink wrapping cover most of what producers in the region pack. Filling, labelling, cartoning and end-of-line equipment are supplied on the same terms.
Horizontal flow wrappers for bars, biscuits, frozen snacks, small parts and anything needing a fin or lap seal at speed.
Powders, granules, and liquids formed, filled, and sealed from reel film, with auger, weighing, or volumetric dosing or pump to suit the product.
Stand-up and zipper pouch lines for spices, granules and liquid formats where shelf presentation matters.
L-bar and side sealers, sleeve sealers and shrink tunnels for multipacks, glass jars, hardware and retail-ready packs.
