ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE ACROSS
GENERATIONS
Founded in 1961, Drakewoods has grown from
a single outlet into one of South Africa’s most
respected suppliers of engineering tools,
industrial machinery, and consumables. Over
six decades, the company has built a reputation
for quality, service and reliability that continues
to position it as a trusted partner across the
construction, manufacturing, petrochemical, and
engineering industries. This journey is a reflection
of an enduring philosophy: consistent service
excellence and an unwavering commitment to
industry needs.
As a Level 1 B-BBEE contributor, Drakewoods is one
of the largest black-owned suppliers in its sector,
ensuring that empowerment and inclusivity remain
at the heart of its operations. This combination of
heritage and transformation has cemented its
role as a business that both honours tradition and
embraces progress.
