Established in April 2005 as a family concern, the company’s main line of business was the distribution of portable 3000rpm, 2 pole generators for the power & construction industry, hence the company’s name. The units were powered by the “Thompson” range of diesel and petrol 3000rpm engines, imported from ASIA and marketed under sole distributorship throughout Sub – Saharan Africa. As the company grew, more portable line products still powered by small diesel & petrol engines were incorporated; these complimented the current market and also opened new doors to new markets. At this point the product range included:
Diesel & Petrol Generators – Max 7KvA Diesel & Petrol Welders – Max 200amp
Diesel & Petrol Water Pumps – Max 100mm / 4”
For the following two years the company grew the market and extended its reach into neighboring countries increasing the brand recognition of the “Thompson” series engine.
As the reputation of the company grew so did the demand for higher specification generators and at this point these were outsourced to numerous local O.E.M’s and distributors and resold into the market at a premium.
Towards the end of 2006 a resolution was taken by the board that the “outsourcing” was placing too many restrictions on the company’s own destiny, hence the decision was reached to build the Danmik manufacturing facility at the new home of Danmik located at 6 Spence Street, Duncanville Ext. 3 Vereeniging.
The plant was established with the following production capabilities:
Sheet metal work for the production of Sound Canopies for Generating sets ranging from 10 – 1000 kva.
