Differentiating itself through innovative, quality products, the company has been in existence for more than 45 years, relying on a technologically skilled team. Originally founded as Hardware Assemblies, the acquisition by the German-Swiss PFISTERER Group in 2003 further propelled the research and development at the factory, resulting in an expansion of the comprehensive product range. Recognising its strategic importance, the South African Thesele Group acquired the business in 2018, strategically rebranding it as VEXILA to position it for continued development and growth from its position as one of the largest manufacturers in the rail, transmission and distribution industry in Africa.
