Led from Industria West, served nationwide
From our base in Industria West, Johannesburg, the team works with print businesses in Roodepoort, Randburg, Midrand, Germiston, Pretoria and further afield. We support offset, flexo and finishing operations with the kind of day to day help that keeps presses running when time is tight and orders are due. Our focus is straightforward: the right materials, steady colour, sensible stock levels, and support that matches the pace of South African production.
The business operates from Johannesburg, supplying plates, chemistry and blankets to print rooms dealing with deadline pressure and the cost of a spoiled run. Each team member brings a different strength, but the goal stays the same, keep production moving and help customers avoid waste.
- Plate supply for offset and related print work
- Chemistry balancing and wash programme support
- Blanket assessment for press performance
- Planning for stock, changeovers and repeat jobs
Mandla Johannes Mokoena, Managing Director
Mandla Johannes Mokoena leads the business with a practical view of print production and customer service. He works closely with customers who need reliable supply, clear advice and a supplier who understands what happens when a plate is late or a press is waiting on the next step.
He keeps a close eye on product quality, delivery reliability and the service standards that matter in real print environments. His approach is hands on and he prefers solutions that make work easier not harder, especially when production schedules are tight and margins are under pressure.
Sales and customer support that know the floor
Preshanthi Chetty, National Sales Manager handles customer accounts and supply planning with a strong grip on what different sites need. She helps buyers match the right plates, chemistry and blankets to the work in front of them, and she is often the first point of contact when teams need advice on lead times or repeat orders. Her strength is keeping the conversation simple and useful.
Dineo Seabi, Customer Service Manager keeps the communication side of the business organised and responsive. She follows through on orders, checks details with customers and helps make sure the right information reaches the right person. In a trade where a small mismatch can slow the whole shift, that attention saves time.
- Order follow up and status updates
- Repeat supply scheduling
- Customer queries on product fit and usage
- Support for multi site buying teams
Technical backup for presses and plate systems
Willem van der Merwe, Technical Support Lead works on the technical side of the operation. He assists with plate handling training, processor servicing guidance, colour stability checks and production troubleshooting. His work is especially useful when a press is not holding colour, chemistry is drifting, or plate performance needs to be checked under real running conditions.
Willem is calm under pressure and gives practical advice that operators can use straight away. He understands that many sites are running across shifts, with limited down time, so the support must be workable in real conditions not just in theory.
- Press startup help
- Plate handling training
- Colour stability checks
- Production troubleshooting
Operations and logistics that keep stock moving
Thandiwe Khumalo, Operations Coordinator manages the day to day flow behind the scenes. She helps line up stock, scheduling and internal coordination so orders are handled properly from query to dispatch. Her work supports the wider team and keeps information clear when several jobs are moving at once.
Jason Petersen, Logistics Supervisor looks after movement and delivery coordination. He works on routing, dispatch planning and timing, which matters when customers need plates or chemistry delivered to sites in Gauteng or sent further across South Africa. He understands that delivery windows can be narrow and that a missed timing can affect an entire shift.
- Delivery planning for Johannesburg and nationwide orders
- Stock movement and dispatch coordination
- Support for time sensitive production schedules
- Careful handling of print consumables in transit
How the team supports print quality
The team does more than move product from store to customer. We help businesses manage chemistry balancing, blanket assessment, wash programmes, supply planning and the small checks that protect consistency over long runs. That is important in heat, humidity and busy production rooms where conditions can change through the day.
Our team also understands the realities of operating in South Africa, from unreliable municipal services to the pressure of making every sheet count. That is why the advice is practical, the follow up is direct, and the support is built around what printing teams actually deal with.
