The people who keep the work moving
PlasmaCutter is built around people who know the pressure of a busy workshop, a roadside breakdown and a deadline that cannot slip. Based in Vereeniging, our team supports customers in Vereeniging, Vanderbijlpark, Sasolburg, Meyerton, Alberton, Germiston, Bloemfontein and Welkom with advice, servicing and practical help that fits real working conditions.
We work with handheld and CNC plasma cutters every day, so our support is grounded in what actually matters on the floor: clean cut quality, steady air supply, sensible maintenance and quick fault finding. Whether you are running a small fabrication shop or a full production line, you will deal with people who understand the equipment and the pace of the job.
- Support for handheld and CNC plasma cutting setups
- Local demos, servicing and on site assistance
- Advice that suits South African workshops and power conditions
Marius van der Merwe and the direction of the business
Marius van der Merwe leads the company as Managing Director and keeps the focus on practical service, straight answers and reliable turnaround times. From Vereeniging, he works with customers across Gauteng and the Free State on plasma cutters, CNC tables and workshop support.
His role covers operations, customer relationships and service standards, with a close eye on how businesses in metal fabrication, automotive work and general engineering use plasma equipment in the field. Marius is the point of contact for the bigger picture, making sure the team stays aligned with the needs of local workshops and production environments.
Sales, training and customer guidance
Kgomotso Mhlongo manages sales and takes care of the first detailed conversations with customers. She helps match the right handheld or CNC plasma cutter to the job, whether the work is light maintenance, heavy fabrication or repeat cutting in a busy shop. Kgomotso is also careful about the practical side of ownership, including consumable use, air quality and what to expect during setup.
Naledi Selebalo supports training and demos, which is where many customers get to see the equipment in action before making a decision. She explains the machine controls, cutting technique and day to day handling in a clear way, so new operators and experienced teams can both get value from the session.
- Product guidance for new and experienced users
- Hands on demos for local businesses and workshops
- Operator training that covers safe, accurate cutting
Technical support from workshop to site
Johan Botha is our Technical Lead and the person who keeps the technical side tight. He handles fault finding, repairs and service planning, with a strong focus on torch repairs, power source repairs and CNC table servicing. Johan knows that downtime costs money, so he works methodically and does not guess when a machine needs attention.
Ruan Visser covers field service and goes out to customers for on site breakdowns, machine commissioning and maintenance support. From industrial areas in Gauteng to sites in the Free State, he is the person who steps in when a machine is offline and needs proper attention. His work often includes height control calibration, air system inspection and cut quality checks after service.
- On site breakdown support when production stops
- Commissioning for new machines and upgrades
- Calibration and checks for cleaner cut results
Keeping parts, spares and support organised
Phenyo Diale coordinates customer support and keeps enquiries, booking details and follow ups organised. She helps make sure customers know what information is needed for a service call, a demo or a repair visit, which saves time when the job needs to happen quickly. Her work matters most when a workshop is trying to line up maintenance around shifts or planned downtime.
Phenyo also helps with spares supply and consumables checks, which is a big part of keeping plasma cutters working properly in South African conditions. Dust, humidity and inconsistent air quality can shorten the life of parts if they are not checked often enough, so her support helps customers avoid avoidable wear.
A team that understands local conditions
Our team works in conditions that are common across Gauteng and the Free State, from industrial power interruptions to coastal humidity issues for customers who move equipment through different regions. That is why our advice is practical. We talk about maintenance intervals, clean compressed air, correct torch handling and sensible service planning, not just the machine itself.
Because our base is in Vereeniging, we are used to supporting businesses across nearby towns and on longer trips into Bloemfontein and Welkom. The result is a team that knows the local rhythm of work and the importance of getting a cutter back into service without unnecessary delay.
If you need help with a repair, demo, servicing or operator training, the team is ready to respond through the enquiry form on our contact page.
What you can expect from us
Customers come to PlasmaCutter for equipment, but they stay for the way our team handles the work. We keep the process clear, the advice honest and the support steady from the first question through to servicing and aftercare. That approach matters when a machine is expected to cut cleanly, day after day, in a workshop that cannot afford guesswork.
Our people work together across sales, technical service, training and field support so that one conversation can lead to the right next step. It is a simple idea, but it makes a real difference when you need dependable help from people who know plasma cutting inside and out.
