In November 2022, construction began on the 5,500 m² site in City Deep, an industrial suburb of Johannesburg. Covering a total area of 2,600 m², the new building houses offices, training rooms, a warehouse, a service center, a systems building zone, and a clean room for the servicing of Pfeiffer Vacuum products.
“With the new building, the Busch Group is positioning itself as a leading provider of vacuum solutions on the African continent. Thanks to our comprehensive range of products, services, and technical expertise, we are well positioned to support the development and growth of key sectors across Africa. Our focus is on service and proximity to the people and companies using our products,” explains Sean Pieterse.
The three brands of the Busch Group, Busch Vacuum Solutions, Pfeiffer Vacuum and centrotherm clean solutions offer a comprehensive product portfolio. This makes the Busch Group a one-stop shop that creates added value for customers and fully meets their requests. “The complementary product portfolios of our companies enable us to meet the needs of our customers in a special way. This makes us unique and sets us apart from our competitors,” adds Reeza Hoosen, Technical Director of Busch South Africa.
The new main office also houses the Busch Group’s logistics center for the African continent as well as rooms for customer training. A roof garden provides outdoor seating. The building is largely powered by its own solar panels and has rainwater collection tanks that can hold 45,000 liters of water.
Busch Vacuum Solutions Africa has additional sales and service offices in Cape Town and Durban in South Africa, as well as in Ghana, Kenya and Egypt.
