Five people, one workshop, every discipline a modern machine needs — mechanical, electrical, and software. Based in Krugersdorp, building for South Africa.
RTech — short for Refined Technologies — is a family-run engineering company based in Krugersdorp, South Africa. We work directly with clients, no account managers or middlemen, taking a concept from a rough sketch through to a proof-of-concept model, a working electronic control system, and a complete production package.
Our goal is simple: build the best engineered products in South Africa, backed by a team that covers mechanical design, electronics, software, and the operations to keep it all running.
Generations working together
Disciplines in-house: mechanical, electronics, software
Point of contact, start to finish
Most 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and machine design specialists in South Africa are based in Johannesburg or Midrand, servicing the West Rand remotely. We're the local option — with real industry on our doorstep.
