Total Solutions Through Constructive Partnerships

Wire Systems Technology is one of South Africa's leading manufacturers and suppliers of winding wire, magnet wire and electrical insulation materials. WST is synonymous with the supply of quality products and services to the electrical machines industry throughout Southern Africa and Central Africa. We are a technology driven company which has recently been acquired by South African owned First Tech Group.

WST's primary focus is in the supply of materials and technology into the electrical machines manufacturing and repair markets where our specialist expertise is well recognised. The diverse product range also finds application in many other electrical and non-electrical markets such as automotive, packaging, domestic appliance, defence, chemical processing and industrial heating.

We have three manufacturing sites and three branches, with activities split into four divisions; viz. Enamelled wires, Textile Covered wires, Insulations and Sales & Distribution.  The wire divisions produce wire, using continuous cast copper rod and in-house manufactured dies. This gives WST total quality control and production flexibility, combined with the ability to offer quick response times.

Quality Assurance is central to company policy. The Quality Systems of all WST Divisions are listed to ISO 9001:2008. In addition to this, WST Enamels Division also holds a permit to apply the SABS Certification Mark to a selection of its round enamelled copper conductors.

WST Sales & Distribution is strategically situated in City Deep, with branches in Cape Town, Durban and Welkom and distributors in all major centres in Southern Africa.

The range of products manufactured in-house by the Insulations division is complemented by a full spectrum of factored electrical insulation materials, winding process equipment and winding test equipment. These products originate from leading global suppliers such as DuPont, Krempel, AEV, Omerin, and Munksjo.
