In 1971 Kwikot introduced high pressure geysers into the South African Market. This was done with wet enamel coating technology in partnership with German Manufacturers. In 1999 the first continuous dry enamel electrostatic coating line was commissioned. This allowed for increased production, quality and efficiency.
In 2007 a second continuous electrostatic coating line was commissioned. This line benefits from further technology enhancements resulting in additional quality and efficiency. A fully automated boiler welding and assembly line was commissioned in August 2008.
The manufacturing facility is geared to ensure that the high quality standards are consistently met and that all products comply with SABS standards. The facility is being upgraded continuously, ensuring that Kwikot retains its status as the innovative leader in hot water systems.
