Press
We invite editors and industry writers onto our Sunnyrock floor to see how drawings become ready-to-use cut parts. Send a message through our contact form for press enquiries.
Send pressOur Sunnyrock factory in Germiston is where fabricators and manufacturers from Gauteng and further afield bring their drawings and collect precision-cut sheet parts. The floor runs a mix of imported and locally built CNC machines, all chosen for the realities of South African production. Every job is planned with practical backup and recovery steps, taking into account Highveld dust and the chance of outages. Editors touring the floor can see how the team manages everything from municipal paperwork to sourcing plate and bar stock in a Rand-sensitive market.
Every project starts with gathering clear specs from the customer, whether it’s an industrial buyer in Gqeberha or a prototype run for a small Cape Town brand. Nesting and profiling routines on the shop floor focus on reducing scrap and handwork, not just ticking a box for software. Operators arrange every nest based on material thickness, grade and downstream process, including local finish requirements for coastal humidity or inland heat. Finished parts ship out ready for welding, painting, or assembly, usually sparing the next operation a tedious afternoon of deburring and squaring up.
Our main bay runs CNC routers, plasma tables, and a profile laser on 230 V and three-phase supply, depending on the week’s load graph. We cut aluminium, mild steel, stainless, acrylics, and timber-based board, sourcing from major Gauteng yards and, when needed, coastal stockists. Press visits can see nesting software in use, sheets coming off the lorry, and the reality of Highveld humidity control or quick swaps between custom materials. The team keeps offcut bins labelled and maintains full traceability back to each bundle’s arrival date.
If you want background on a specific machine or to profile our machines list, ask the office to set up a walkthrough, each tour brings its own surprises.
Most quarters, the main changes are new nesting templates, tweaks to order batching, or a machine upgrade tied to a supplier’s delivery cycle. When industrial power cuts bring downtime, we adjust work patterns and communicate expected slippage before spindle hours start. Parts for Johannesburg, Durban, and Bloemfontein often follow slightly different processes to account for regional delivery and storage realities. The result is an order handoff that aims to land as close to production-ready as practical for every client, whether it’s a shopfitting bay or a light engineering workshop.
The team always invites buyers, process owners and press to see changes first-hand. For recent updates, visit our blog or check out the projects section for finished work.
Editors and trade writers can arrange a factory floor interview or photo shoot by emailing our contact form. We answer press questions about workflows, machine specs, or material logistics most weeks. Some weeks have special access to talk with operators or follow an order from drawings to finished parts. For more information on company background or to request photography, see our press kit or reach the media contact.
