There has been a noticeable uptick in demand for the locally manufactured Booyco heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems by South Africa’s original-equipment manufacturers (OEM), says Booyco Engineering MD Brenton Spies, adding that the upswing is seen as a promising indicator of growth within the local OEM landscape.

Booyco Engineering, known for its high-quality, locally engineered and manufactured HVAC solutions, has received an influx of orders from a range of local OEM facilities. Some of these facilities specialise in producing underground mining machinery such as load-haul-dump units and utility vehicles, while others manufacture surface mining equipment and construction machinery.

Spies says that the growing demand for Booyco’s HVAC systems underscores its reputation for reliable and purpose-built solutions capable of enduring the extreme conditions often found in Africa’s challenging mining environments.

“South Africa’s mining and construction sectors, in particular, are notorious for their demanding operational contexts, where equipment must withstand not only physical stresses but also extreme temperatures,” he says. “With summer temperatures frequently exceeding 34 °C, the need for durable and efficient HVAC systems has never been more critical. By designing for T3 conditions of ambient temperatures up to 46 °C, our offerings stand out in this regard.”

He adds that Booyco Engineering provides a range of standard HVAC systems but can also partner with OEMs for custom-designed solutions tailored to specific equipment requirements.

A key differentiator for Booyco Engineering has been its commitment to local production, underpinned by rigorous in-house testing. Each HVAC system is developed and tested under the harshest conditions to guarantee performance reliability in the field. This manufacturing approach not only supports the South African economy but also ensures that products are ideally suited to local conditions.

Supporting these systems in the field, Booyco Engineering operates a team of skilled artisans as part of its field service crews. These professionals are essential for maintaining the high performance and reliability of Booyco HVAC systems in the field, with the company even offering personnel-on-site contracts where necessary to provide continuous support.

Moreover, Spies says, Booyco Engineering is aggressively expanding its reach within sub-Saharan Africa by appointing distributors and service providers. This strategy aims to provide localised support and service to customers across the region, further enhancing the accessibility and reliability of Booyco’s HVAC solutions.

“We believe the increased demand for Booyco Engineering’s HVAC systems from South Africa’s OEM sector is a testament to the company’s innovation, quality and commitment to supporting local industries,” Spies concludes.
