Reliable electrical infrastructure remains fundamental to the performance and safety of mining and heavy industrial operations. These issues were in focus when transformer and switchgear manufacturer Hansen + Genwest head of sales Bhavesh Parbhoo was interviewed by Mining Weekly ahead of the Investing in African Mining Indaba hosted in Cape Town.

During the interview, Parbhoo reflected on Hansen + Genwest’s 50-year legacy supplying electrical solutions to South Africa’s industrial and mining sectors, highlighting the key factors that have underpinned the company’s longevity and strong market reputation. He explained the engineering capabilities behind the company’s dry-type vacuum-pressure impregnated transformers, switchgear and motors, which have become benchmarks for underground and flameproof applications in demanding mining environments.

The discussion also explored how Hansen + Genwest’s 24/7 nationwide service and support model helps customers maintain uptime in critical operations, positioning service as a core differentiator. Parbhoo further outlined the value of local manufacturing, explaining how producing transformers and electrical solutions in South Africa enhances quality control, reliability and customer confidence.

He further shared insights into the strategic opportunities and technological advancements shaping Hansen + Genwest’s next chapter, as the company continues to support the evolving needs of mining and heavy industry in the decades to come.
