Profile

CONTROLGEAR PRODUCTS (PTY) LTD was established on the 3rd of October 1986, by Deon Coetzee, with the primary objective being the distribution of electrical switchgear and associated products, to the electrical wholesale trade as well as to industry throughout the then Transvaal region. The company soon grew, and it’s reputation as a switchgear company soon led to it doing business far beyond the borders of what is now known as Gauteng.

During 2002 Deon realised the need for Black Economic Empowerment, and formed the Engineering, Manufacturing and Installation division of CONTROLGEAR as a fully fledged BEE company, which officially started trading under the name of CONTROLGEAR SYSTEMS (PTY) LTD on the 1st of August 2002.

As a BEE company, CONTROLGEAR SYSTEMS (PTY) LTD quickly established itself in the marketplace, and the first order won was a contract from TOTAL S.A. to design, supply and install the electrical installation for the oil and diesel dispensing and management systems at the ISCOR Grootegeluk mine near Ellisras. The project, worth approximately R2m, was completed in record time, and to the total satisfaction of both ISCOR and TOTAL S.A. Subsequently the company has completed several similar design and installation projects for TOTAL S.A. throughout the Southern African region.

CONTROLGEAR SYSTEMS (PTY) LTD , also won the contract from City Power to supply MOELLER Moulded Case Circuit Breakers for their highly critical distribution network. The contract, worth in excess of R8.6m was awarded to CONTROLGEAR SYSTEMS (PTY) LTD, not only due to it’s BEE status, but also for the technical ability that City Power required the successful supplier to have. The staff of CONTROLGEAR SYSTEMS (PTY) LTD, together with MOELLER technicians have trained more than one hundred of City Power’s electricians in the installation, connection and operation of these highly specialised MCCB’s.
