Leadership that keeps projects moving
Sibusiso Mthembu leads Flatbed UV from our Germiston base with a practical view of what print businesses need on the floor. As Managing Director, he keeps the focus on reliable delivery, clear communication and support that makes sense for South African production conditions, from load-shedding planning to the realities of working in busy shops and on-site installs.
He works closely with clients who need flatbed UV printers for rigid boards and signage, and he keeps the team aligned on service, training and production advice. Sibusiso prefers straight answers, proper planning and follow-through, especially when a job needs to be turned around quickly or an installation has to fit into a live production space.
Sales guidance with a practical eye
Lerato Nkosi manages sales with a strong focus on what will suit the customer's workload, media mix and daily output. She spends time understanding whether a business is producing retail boards, display panels, event pieces or general signage, then helps guide the conversation around suitable printing workflow and support needs.
Clients often come with a clear deadline and a few unknowns. Lerato helps narrow things down so the next step is easier, whether that means planning installation, arranging operator training or discussing ink handling and media testing. She is calm under pressure, which helps when a production schedule is already tight.
- Supports quote enquiries and pre-sales discussions
- Helps match printer requirements to real production needs
- Coordinates with the technical and service teams when a site visit is needed
Technical setup done properly
Johan van der Merwe leads the technical side of the business and is often involved before a machine is even switched on. His work covers site checks, printer installation, workflow planning and the technical detail that helps a flatbed UV setup run safely and consistently in local conditions.
He pays attention to surface level, access space, power planning and the practical side of output handling. In South Africa, that can mean helping clients think through backup power, dust control and the effect of heat or coastal humidity on storage and production routines. Johan is the person who looks at the full picture, not just the machine itself.

Training that helps operators gain confidence
Ayanda Dlamini coordinates training for new operators and teams that want steadier day-to-day production. She takes a practical approach, focusing on the steps that matter most: safe handling, clean workflow habits, media testing, colour guidance and consistent print routines that reduce waste.
Her sessions are shaped around the real work the client does, rather than a one-size-fits-all method. If a business needs help with rigid boards one week and display pieces the next, Ayanda makes sure the operator understands how to work carefully and adjust the process with confidence. She is patient, clear and very organised.
Ayanda also helps clients settle into good habits after installation, which is often where the real value shows. A small fix in setup or handling can save a lot of time later, especially when the team is under pressure and orders keep coming in.
Service support that keeps production on track
Michael Naidoo handles service work with the kind of steady focus that production teams appreciate. When a client needs breakdown support, spares coordination or a check on day-to-day reliability, he helps get the issue understood and resolved without unnecessary fuss.
He knows that print downtime affects more than one job. It can delay installation dates, client handovers and the rest of the week’s output. Michael works carefully, keeps notes clear and helps clients make sensible decisions about maintenance, parts and operating routines so the same fault does not keep returning.
His support role also includes practical help with ink handling, media testing and process questions that come up after installation. That kind of follow-up matters, especially when a team is still getting used to a new workflow.
Production support from the Germiston base
Zanele Khumalo supports production planning and client coordination from our Germiston base. She helps keep information moving between the sales, technical and service sides of the business so jobs do not lose momentum once an enquiry becomes a live project.
Her role suits clients who need organised, detailed follow-up. Zanele helps track the practical steps around installation dates, operator readiness, service requests and workflow advice. She is also often involved where a business needs a bit of extra guidance on production planning before a machine starts full work.
- Supports enquiry handling and internal coordination
- Helps manage training and service bookings
- Assists with production advice and media-related follow-up
Together, the team serves clients across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town and Gqeberha, as well as Germiston, East Rand and Centurion. Each area has its own pace and production pressures, so we keep our support practical and responsive.
