Our service department started trading on the 9th of April 1949 within the original “Industrial Machinery Supplies (Pty) Ltd” or IMS as it was later known, which was founded by Swiss company, Conart Holdings. IMS commenced operations as an agent mainly for German companies. Chief amongst which was MAN Diesel Engines.
In the 1960’s and in reaction to growing demand from the marine sector, a service centre was opened in Cape Town, which is still in operation today under the “Seascape Marine Services (Pty) Ltd” banner with the main focus being shifted from supporting MAN products to Yanmar products.
