People Power
Today, 25 years later, the group sells an extensive
range of high-quality, robust block-, brick- and
tile-making machines in over 50 countries and
some of the most remote and difficult regions of the
world.
In that time the team has grown from one person with an
idea – Jochen Kofahl – to a globally recognised company
employing 90 people at its head office in Johannesburg.
Managing the complexities of logistics, research and
development, sales, technical, marketing, accounting and
administration occupies 56 of those people (above) while
another 34 are employed on the assembly line at the
Hydraform factory (see overleaf).
Together this team embraces the company vision
of being customer-orientated leaders in soil-cement
technology, distributing and supporting Hydraform
machines and complementary products in key markets
across the developing world.
