New Opportunities
LHL Engineering started out in Manchester Road
Pinetown in rented premises. Their rapid growth
necessitated the purchase of larger premises and the
company moved to their current position in Richmond
Avenue. As the company continued to grow a second
workshop bay was added and overhead cranes
installed. In the early 90s LHL Engineering bought
the premises in the name of Rich Steel Properties cc
and continued to make improvements both to the
property and market share.
The South African Government is pushing hard
for increased local content in all components and
equipment delivered in the country. This call has
resulted in various companies looking towards
LHL Engineering for assistance as their quality
rating puts the company in a good position to take
advantage of these opportunities.
