About Us – Switchgear

Master Installation Electrician

A Family Business Powering Industry – One Connection at a Time

At SWITCHGEAR (Henque 1579 Pty Ltd), we believe that the strongest connections aren’t just electrical—they’re personal.

Founded in 2014, SWITCHGEAR is proudly run by a father-and-son team: Stoffel and Andries, two generations of hands-on expertise, shared values, and a commitment to excellence in the electrical industry. Together, they’ve built a company trusted by industries across Mpumalanga, Gauteng, and beyond.

What started as a small, specialist operation has grown into a respected name in the field of transformer oil purification, switchgear repair, and HT/ LT electrical maintenance. But no matter how much we grow, we never lose sight of what matters: personal service, technical precision, and doing the job right—first time, every time.
