Widasla Technologies is a pioneering force in the global market for refurbished pre-owned printing and packaging machinery, with a rich history spanning over two decades.
We aim to continue our legacy of excellence by:
Widasla, founded by Dou Fourie in 2004, is a collective of engineering firms specializing in the printing industry. Dou’s journey began with an apprenticeship and training as a print engineer at a prestigious Cape Town firm, leading to the establishment of Widasla Technologies.
The company’s name, synonymous with quality engineering, has been a respected, family trademark for generations. Initially, Dou and his trusted associate, David Sedane, focused on providing specialized services, maintenance, and engineering solutions to printers in Johannesburg.
To revolutionize the pre-owned print equipment market, Widasla expanded by incorporating Widasla Electroplating in 2018 and Widasla Finishing in 2020. Our unwavering commitment to top-tier service, marked by meticulous attention to detail and the principle “My word is my bond,” quickly earned us a loyal clientele.
Our reputation for consistently high-quality service attracted discerning suppliers of second-hand equipment worldwide. We initially exported second-hand equipment from South Africa, gaining expertise in preparing machinery for international shipment. This positioned us as a trusted partner for dismantling, transporting, and reassembling presses globally.
As our stature grew, so did our portfolio, encompassing projects from small-format presses to complex, multi-unit configurations. Each endeavor reflects our ethos of meticulous care, purposeful execution, and unwavering attention to detail.
Our team is standing by and will happily answer any questions you may have.
