Since the early 1950s, Penbro Kelnick has established itself as one of South Africa’s leading suppliers of specialised electrical products for the railway, telecommunications, utilities, mining and industrial sectors.

Besides the extensive range of standard products, the company has become renowned for its tailor-made solutions assisting its customers with their special requirements.

The company’s Pretoria facility supports the manufacture of robust electrical products for demanding applications, including standard ranges and customised solutions built to customer requirements.

Penbro, with diversified products and competences in the fields of electrical and mechanical technologies, forms part of the internationally recognised Telema Group, enabling the company to combine local manufacturing capability and South African market knowledge with the backing of a global industrial group.

This also opens access to international experience, technical depth and global manufacturing standards, while allowing the company to remain close to its local customers and market needs, strengthening its ability to support South African infrastructure, industry and export projects with reliable products and long-term technical support.

Penbro maintains the implementation of industrial standards according to ISO9001: 2015 and is working towards qualifying for ISO 45001.

Further, the company’s specialised welding team is certified to ISO 3834 part 2, with the diligent support of Penbro’s technical and quality assurance department, and is working towards the EN15085 certification. Penbro is also ISO9001:2015 certified.
