Leadership That Keeps The Workshop Moving
Sibusiso Mthembu, Managing Director, leads the business from our Germiston base with a steady focus on service, technical accuracy and customer support. He understands that when a motor trips on a production line, or a drive faults during a shutdown, the work has to be handled by people who know what they are doing and who respect lockout procedures, isolation and site rules.
His role is to keep the team aligned on the basics that matter most: safe work, proper diagnosis, neat repairs and honest feedback. That approach helps clients in Johannesburg, Ekurhuleni, Pretoria, Vereeniging and Durban get the right support for motors, drives and on-site checks.
- Guides the overall service direction
- Supports client communication and planning
- Helps maintain a practical, safety-first way of working
The Motor Rewinding Bench In Germiston
Thabo Nkosi, Senior Winding Technician, spends his time on the detailed work that keeps electric motors going. That includes stripping damaged windings, checking core condition, fitting new wire to suit the motor design, and making sure the finished unit is tested properly before it leaves the workshop. In hot inland conditions and in coastal humidity near Durban, insulation quality and workmanship matter even more, because moisture and contamination can shorten motor life if they are not dealt with properly.
Thabo also works closely with bearing checks, insulation testing and fault finding, so a motor does not just get rewound and sent back with the same problem waiting to happen. His method is careful, measured and suited to industrial motors used in plants, workshops and utility applications.

- Bearing replacement support and fitment checks
- Insulation testing and post-repair verification
Drive Repair With A Practical Eye
Megan Naidoo, Drive Repair Specialist, focuses on variable speed drive repair and inspection. She handles the kind of work that needs patience and a good understanding of power electronics, cabinet condition and likely causes of failure. That can include panel cleaning, cable checks, component level fault tracing and making sure the drive is ready for recommissioning support once the site is prepared.
In many plants, a drive issue can stop a pump, conveyor or processing line, so Megan works with the wider team to keep the job organised. She knows that electrical work must be done by qualified people, with proper isolation, lockout and verification before anyone puts hands on a unit. That mindset keeps the repair work sensible and safe.

- Panel cleaning and basic condition checks
- Support for commissioning and site reporting
Field Support That Makes Site Work Easier
Johan Pretorius, Field Service Coordinator, takes care of the moving parts outside the workshop. He helps arrange motor removal, alignment checks, shutdown planning and on-site reporting for customers who need work done in Germiston, Boksburg, Kempton Park and other industrial areas. A good field plan saves time, avoids confusion and helps keep a shutdown on schedule, especially where access is tight or plant rules are strict.
Johan also coordinates drive inspection and spares assessment so the team knows what is needed before equipment comes in. That reduces surprises and helps clients plan around maintenance windows, load-shedding, and production pressure.
- Motor removal coordination
- Alignment checks and shutdown planning
- Site reporting and spares assessment
Operations And Customer Support You Can Reach
Annelie van Wyk, Operations Manager, keeps the workshop flow organised and the paperwork straight. She helps make sure jobs are logged properly, status updates go out on time and the team has what it needs to work through the day without avoidable delays. Her focus is practical, not fancy: clear job notes, proper handovers and a clean line between workshop work and field work.
Lerato Molefe, Customer Support Lead, is often the first person clients deal with through the enquiry form on our contact page. She helps gather the right job details, from motor size and fault symptoms to whether a panel needs cleaning or a cable check. That saves time later and helps the technicians prepare. The two of them keep the process moving for customers across South Africa, from Pretoria to Durban, and yes sometimes the notes come in with a typo or two but the job still gets handled properly.
- Job logging and customer updates
- Enquiry handling and information gathering
- Coordination between workshop, field and client
A Team Built For Industrial Work
Locor is based in Germiston, Gauteng, and the team works with plants and workshops that need electrical equipment repaired properly and returned in working order. Whether the job is bearing checks, insulation testing, drive fault finding, panel cleaning or commissioning support, the people here know that good results come from discipline, clear communication and respect for site safety.
From the first enquiry to the final site report, the team works together to keep repairs practical and reliable. That is the value of a group that understands industrial maintenance in South African conditions, from humid coastal sites to busy inland factories and municipal shutdown schedules.
