VR Engineering: Leading Provider of Diesel Generators in South Africa

About VR Engineering

VR Engineering (Pty) Ltd is one of the leading providers of diesel generators in South Africa. The company’s generator sets offer an excellent solution for emergency standby power supply or as a prime power source. Whether you need an emergency power system for failure-proof applications, a standby system to continue work when the main power source fails, or a prime power source in remote areas with no access to the national grid, VR Engineering has the solution.

Our History

Founded in 1959 by Mick van Rensburg, VR Engineering has grown to become one of the biggest manufacturers of diesel generating sets in the country. Initially supplying generating sets to the agricultural market, the company has expanded its services to various industries including communications, media, banks, airports, hospitals, data centers, mining, and construction.

Key Milestones

  • 1972: Secured the first order from the Post and Telecommunications sector for 35 generator sets ranging from 5kVA to 175kVA for stationary and trailer-mounted units.
  • 1982: Moved to the current office in Krugersdorp, with a handling capacity of 30 tons and a floor area measuring 3,500m², increasing manufacturing power range from 20kVA to 3500kVA.

Power Shortage Solutions

With the increasing prominence of load shedding across Southern Africa, VR Engineering provides effective solutions to power generation shortages. The company’s generators are used as emergency standby power supply during generation shortages or as a prime power source for those without permanent access to the national grid system.

Recent Challenges and Successes

In November 2014, country-wide blackouts due to power generation shortages reintroduced load shedding. Despite these challenges, VR Engineering has continued to thrive by providing reliable and efficient power solutions to a growing number of businesses and homeowners investing in emergency backup power systems.

The Future of VR Engineering

Looking forward, VR Engineering plans to invest in a larger manufacturing facility to cope with the increasing demand for its generators. The company is committed to meeting the specific requirements of its customers facing recurring power shortages.
