THE STORY
The short version.
RTLL Trading has been engineering Form, Fill & Seal machinery from a factory in New Germany, KZN, since 1984. Some of the machines we built in our first decade are still running on customer lines today.
We were started by engineers, and we're still run by engineers. Johan Cronje, our director, takes the calls when machines go down, signs off every quote, and walks every factory visit personally.
Over four decades we've built a category specialism in three things: custom new builds, refurbishment of any-OEM machinery, and the auxiliary equipment that surrounds an FFS line. We do not chase work outside that specialism — we go deeper.
THE FACTORY
A real factory.
A real spares shelf.
A real team you can phone.
If you've never visited, we'd encourage you to. Most major decisions on a six-figure capital purchase happen during a factory walk - not on a website.
Our New Germany factory holds:
Mechanical workshop for new builds and refurbishments
Electrical and controls workshop
A spares store with stocked Festo, Siemens and SEW components
A FAT bay for Factory Acceptance Testing before despatch
A trade counter for walk-in spares purchases
On-site engineering and design
CUSTOMERS
Trusted by South Africa's
biggest manufacturers.
We don't list every customer - most prefer their packaging supplier choices stay quiet. The list above is a sample. Reference site visits and customer reference calls can be arranged for serious enquiries.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
Three things that matter.
We're an OEM,
not a distributor.
Every machine we sell is engineered, built and serviced by us. No middleman. No re-export markup. No parts that have to come from somewhere else.
We build with
standard parts
Festo. Siemens. SEW. Your maintenance team already knows the components. There's no proprietary controller, no vendor-locked drive,
no part you need to fly in.
We're 15 minutes from KZN's industrial heart.
New Germany sits at the centre of KZN's manufacturing belt. Same-day callouts.
24-hour parts dispatch. Walk-in trade counter.
TRY IT RISK FREE

Workmanship guarantee

Performance guarantee

Structured the way you need it
In-house finance and rent-to-own can be arranged. Or we work with whichever finance
provider you bring - Sasfin, Merchant West, WesBank.
COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF
The best way to evaluate
a packaging machinery partner
is to walk their factory.
Pick a date. Tour the workshop. See refurbs in progress.
Meet the team that'd build your machine.
