For nearly 80 years, Bosworth has been manufacturing pulleys and idlers. The company also offers general fabrication, heat treatment, as well as plate rolling, in addition to supplying wear linings.
Bosworth was established in 1943 as a general fabricator. In the ensuing decades, the company naturally evolved into a manufacturer and supplier of bulk material-handling equipment with an emphasis on conveyor pulleys. Bosworth has supplied pulleys and related equipment to material-handling projects globally.
The company installed generator and solar back-up power in August 2022, a proactive move that has seen it not lose a single day in production since due to loadshedding.
Hall stresses that Bosworth is not neglecting the local market and is expanding in the refurbishment and replacement sector. Mining companies are looking to cut costs and get extra value out of their operational budgets. Locally, the coal and platinum markets are doing well, and the gold price is booming, which presents major opportunities in terms of new projects or expansions, noted Hall.
Bosworth’s full product and service offering consists of pulleys, pulley refurbishment, plate rolling, idlers, general fabrication and wear linings. It is bundled in the material-handling cluster of Hudaco.
