Woodrow Engineering Sales (Kimberley) CC was established on 1 January 1997. The name originates from the owner of the original business from which the new business evolved. The original Woodrow Engineering Sales was primarily a sales-orientated business, supplying mines and industry in the Northern Cape with equipment in the electrical field. It was positioned to supply the correct equipment to the end-user based on technical know-how and knowledge.

With the establishment of Woodrow Engineering Sales (Kimberley) CC, a decision was taken that the business needs to broaden its base to ensure survival in the increasingly competitive marketplace. To ensure that the broader base moves the business into a strategically better position, the business branched out into a field loosely defined as “Projects”, at the same time maintaining its position as a supplier as before. We also developed from a local Northern Cape business to a concern that operates where and when required, as the list of projects demonstrates. With a graduate engineer, as well as a diplomad engineer, we offer expertise in all electrical fields.

The Projects division has developed into a unit that performs the following functions:

1. System Integration and Automation
2. Consulting and Design Services, including MCC Design, Specification, Building and Installation
3. Telemetry Planning, Supply and Installation

System Integration involves the engineering of comprehensive electrical control systems that include all levels of supervisory and control systems, offering control and data distribution functions from managerial to plant floor level, making use of SCADA systems, networks, PLC’s, etc. Woodrow Engineering Sales (Kimberley) CC offers comprehensive system integration services. We are authorized system integrators for Rockwell Automation and form part of their worldwide SPP program. We are also Integration Partners of Mitsubishi Automation and Schneider.
