In building a new Joint Venture between AEGION INTERNATIONAL and ROBOR PTY LTD, I combine experience, good Engineering know-how, strong leadership and above all a clear vision to create what is known as AEGION SOUTH AFRICA. I am extremely proud of the team we have assembled and linked with the absolute best technology and service levels, this business has started punching well above its humble beginnings. We pride ourselves in using innovation and modern manufacturing techniques too generate world class solutions at world beating value. Our competitive technical advantages are further strengthened through passion, focus and a strong work ethic that is at the core of the exceptional service that has made ASA the leading supplier for Hydro Transport spool solutions within Africa and South America. This is reflected in top line growth and solid results.

Elandsfontein

Shareholder in the biggest privately owned Steel business in SA. Two MBO phases meant a restructure and refocus of the Robor Group, making this very much an Entrepreneurial Venture. My role in consolidation of primary Operations and the expansion of the Value Added business required an effective and lean investment strategy that was executed to extremely high standards at all levels. This has paved the way for additional acquisitions, which were merged with the necessary focus on achieving proper synergy as well as symbiosis. My role handles diverse aspects of management with a very strong strategic technology and project execution slant. A long term competitive edge remains key to our success.

An extremely dynamic period in the history of Columbus when over R3,5Bn was spent on the biggest steel plant upgrade RSA had ever seen.
