Our proudly South African commitment to local design and manufacture enables us with the agility to not only provide standard product, but also non-standard custom solutions for our customers.
Crofts Gears has a longstanding reputation of tried and tested engineering excellence that informs our built-to-last product manufacture. Our team’s passion for bespoke engineering is reflected in our continued dedication to providing our customers with solutions that we adapt to their existing needs and applications.
Crofts’ local operations were established some 70 years ago and later became part of the international Renold group. During this time, Renold Crofts South Africa became adept at operating in demanding environments and continued to build a track record of reliability. In 2019 we came full-circle and returned to the original Crofts brand under new local ownership, retaining all local Crofts’ IP as well as local distributorship of Renold products. Our new identity speaks to the existing expectations of our previous production under the banner of Renold as well as the significant transformation we’ve undergone over the years, while simultaneously also acknowledging the growth of our brand going forward.
Building on our strong foundation and learnings, we are moving forward with you into the future. Crofts Gears has reignited our vision of providing innovative and cutting-edge mechanical power transmission design, by utilising the latest available materials and manufacturing processes to better deliver fit-for-purpose products.
