This article has been supplied.For decades, Babcock has supported KwaZulu-Natal's pulp, paper and sugar industries through the supply, maintenance and refurbishment of critical boiler infrastructure. Many of the boilers operating across the region today were originally designed, supplied, erected or supported by Babcock engineering teams, creating long-standing technical connections with some of the province's most important industrial operations.

While operating models and maintenance strategies have evolved over time, Babcock's deep understanding of these assets positions the company to support customers seeking to maximise reliability, efficiency and asset life.

The recent re-establishment of Babcock's Pinetown office has strengthened the company's ability to engage more closely with customers across the region, providing improved access to OEM expertise, technical support and engineering services.

"This approach reinforces our position not only as an OEM supplier, but as a trusted engineering partner committed to improving the reliability, efficiency and sustainability of ageing industrial infrastructure throughout the region," says Andile Shangase, Sales Engineer at Babcock's Engineering business.
