The beginnings of PSV Holdings Limited (“PSV”) date back to 1988 when entrepreneurs Abie da Silva and Peter Robinson established an operation to be a supplier of pumps and valves to mines and other industrial companies. Initially the primary area of focus was pumps and valves that regulated and controlled the flow of water and other fluids such as petrochemicals.

The business developed into the fully fledged industrial engineering group that listed on the Alternative Exchange of the JSE in April 2006. PSV is now able to implement large water reticulation projects, manufacture and refurbish pumps, valves and fuel handling systems, and supply specialised piping and consumables to mining and other industries.

For the past nineteen years PSV has enjoyed loyal customer support, specifically in the mining industry, and this is based purely on excellent client service.

The mining industry in South Africa and in Africa is a significant and growing industry. Most deep mines require pumps to pump ground water accumulations to the surface and away from the mining operations. These pumps typically pump millions of litres of water per hour from depths of 500m to 1000m underground and operate 24 hours a day.

The essential requirement for all deep mining operations is that their mines are free of water so that the mining process is not hindered in any way. PSV is well positioned, both in South Africa and in Africa to continue to support these mining operations. PSV’s engineering expertise also extends into the petrochemical industry in South Africa and Africa through Petro-Logic (Pty) Ltd (“Petro-Logic”). As long as there are vehicles that require fuel, the technology and expertise of Petro-Logic will be sought as they keep all operations of the forecourt of a service station running effectively.

A further specialist area of PSV is industrial linings solutions. This is the expert domain of Group Line Projects (Pty) Ltd (“Group Line”) and its array of lining products used to solve materials handling flow and wear problems. Expansion such as those taking place at Eskom power stations bodes well for the future of Group Line.
