Plasser (South Africa)

Based in Austria, Plasser & Theurer was established in 1953 and is the recognised world leader in
the design and manufacture of heavy on-track maintenance machinery. Today this market is
supported by Plasser & Theurer’s partner firms and many agencies which have so far supplied
over 14,000 machines to more than 100 countries.
Plasser South Africa is the local partner and agent for Plasser & Theurer machinery. Depending
on circumstances, the company can either manufacture Plasser machines locally, import
machines directly from Plasser & Theurer or a combination of the two. It provides full after sales
service and technical support to machine owners.
Through active management of its transformation strategy over many years, the company has
consistently achieved excellent BBBEE (Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment) results and
will continue to do so. It currently holds a level 3 BBBEE compliance rating.
The superior quality of Plasser & Theurer’s products is legendary. Plasser South Africa’s quality
management system complies with ISO9001 principles and the result is reflected in the long
service life achieved from machines, the high levels of availability achieved and the high quality
of the service that it provides.
Safety is of paramount importance and the company therefore maintains a sophisticated health
and safety system which complies with OHSAS principles. The results are reflected in the good
track record that the company has achieved over many years.
