Leadership That Keeps Jobs Moving

Naledi Mokoena manages day-to-day operations, making sure jobs are booked, tracked and returned without confusion. She keeps communication clear for customers who are sending parts from Durban, Bloemfontein, Gqeberha or local Gauteng sites, and she understands how much difference good planning makes when a machine is down.

She also coordinates between the Centurion workshop, Pretoria East support, Midrand collections and the rest of the team, which helps keep smaller repairs and larger production runs moving in the right order. Her approach is practical, organised and customer focused.

  • Schedules incoming repairs and batch welding work
  • Coordinates collections, courier deliveries and job updates
  • Keeps clients informed on progress and timing

Hands-On Welding For Fine Repairs

Johan Erasmus is the Senior Laser Welding Technician, and he works on the kind of jobs that need a steady hand and a sharp eye. His focus includes thin section welding, crack repair, edge build up, mould and die work, stainless repairs and aluminium repairs, especially where surrounding surfaces must be protected.

He is used to dealing with parts that have already seen wear from heat, vibration, corrosion or repeated use. In a job-shop environment, that means he must read the part quickly, choose the right approach and produce work that stands up in a real workshop or factory setting.

  • Handles precision welding on small and complex parts
  • Works on restoration jobs where original dimensions matter
  • Supports prototype joining and repeat production tasks

Quality Checks That Hold The Line

Anele Dlamini leads quality control and makes sure finished parts meet the standard before they leave the workshop. She checks alignment, finish and repair integrity, with careful attention to whether the welded area will cope with heat, movement and daily use.

For clients in manufacturing, tooling and repair work, that kind of checking matters because a part can look fine at first glance and still fail later if it was not handled correctly. Anele’s role is to catch issues early and keep the final result dependable.

She works closely with the technicians on jobs where the tolerances are tight and the material is unforgiving, especially on stainless and aluminium repairs where heat control is important.

Client Contact With Clear Technical Feedback

Priya Naidoo manages client relations and is often the first person customers speak to when they need a part assessed. She helps explain what information is needed up front, such as photos, measurements, material type and whether the item is a one-off repair or a batch order.

That clarity saves time for everyone and helps avoid the back-and-forth that can slow a job down. Priya is especially useful for clients who are balancing production schedules, load-shedding interruptions and tight maintenance windows.

  • Guides customers on what to send for an accurate assessment
  • Helps with updates on progress and collection options
  • Supports local and nationwide customers with practical feedback

Workshop Coordination Across Centurion And Beyond

Thabo Molefe keeps the workshop running in an orderly way, from receiving parts to making sure completed work is packed and ready for collection or courier. He manages the flow between the bench, the inspection point and dispatch, which is important when several jobs are on the go at once.

His role matters for both small repairs and higher-volume batch welding, especially on days when power interruptions or urgent collections can shift the schedule. A good coordinator saves time, reduces mistakes and helps the whole team stay on track.

Based in Centurion, the team serves clients across Pretoria and South Africa, including manufacturing sites, repair shops and engineering operations that need reliable laser welding support.
