Built in Africa. Built for excellence.

For half a century, Jachris has been the backbone of Africa’s heavy industries, delivering on-site solutions that keep operations running and economies moving.

  • About us

A family business that has grown into Africa’s leading industrial solutions partner.

Founded in 1976, Jachris began as a small, family-driven operation in Springs, Gauteng. What started with a commitment to honest work and technical excellence has evolved into a continent-wide network of more than 30 on-site workshops and 400 technicians. Today, Jachris serves mining, oil & gas, construction, marine, and agricultural industries across Africa, all with the same principle it started with: be there, on-site, when clients need you most.
