ith more than 100 years of experience in Africa, and backed by a JSE-listed parent company in the form of Barloworld Limited, Barloworld Equipment South Africa continues to deliver quality construction and mining equipment to the country - and wider region’s - earthmoving sector.

The R62 billion entity with secondary listings on both London’s and Namibia’s Stock Exchanges has - over these 100-plus years - leveraged its ethos of ensuring success, sharing expertise and providing innovative solutions to culminate in an equipment offering that delivers the lowest total owning and operating cost over its lifecycles.

Ultimately, the result is “equipment that’s engineered for success... backed by informed, empowered and passionate people”.

The Company continues: “We’re doing it as the sole dealer for Cat® earthmoving machines and related mining and construction equipment in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland and Zambia, as well as the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Katanga province in a joint venture with Bartrac.

“We’re doing it by ensuring that our applications and training experts spend their time where it counts most - in the field, where we can help your employees with the expert knowledge they need to get the most out of your machines.

“We’re doing it through our commitment to social, environmental and economic sustainability: by striving to minimise the environmental impact of our economic activities by investing in water and electricity metering systems at all our facilities, and measuring fuel, water and electricity intensity across our southern African operational footprint.

“And we’re doing it by driving customer satisfaction: by ensuring

A partner with power

As such a reputable name in Southern Africa, the responsibility to conduct itself with wider social and environmental implications in mind has not been lost on Barloworld Equipment. To this end, the Company announced its broad-based black economic empowerment transaction in 2008 as a signal of intent to provide a sustainable service beyond just its machines.

“The transaction included shareholdings for employees, community service groups, an

education trust and strategic black partners. This translated into an effective 29 percent empowerment of Barloworld’s South African operations,” the Company recalls.

“The allocation of shares to South African employees has the important spin-off of improved staff retention and loyalty, with corresponding benefits for customers.”

Empowerment is the key word applied to Barloworld’s code of conduct, within both its CSR efforts and its core industry functions; or even in cases where the two overlap through such challenges as power shortages, energy solutions and ecofriendliness.

“At Barloworld Power we understand how costly unexpected electricity outages can be,” the Company exclaims. “With power failures affecting productivity in every industry, it is essential to have a reliable back-up energy solution.

The future starts today

“The Barloworld Equipment story began in 1902, when Major Ernest ‘Billy’ Barlow formed Thos. Barlow & Sons in Durban, South Africa. Since then, we’ve grown to become part of a multinational brand distribution Company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, and are the sole dealer for Cat® machines in Southern Africa,” the business reflects on its website.

This evolution has consisted of rebrandings, expansions, acquisitions, footprint growth and joint ventures,

10

but throughout it all, the core values have remained consistent; with the Barloworld Equipment employees placed front and centre when it comes to success attribution.

“Our employees are our greatest asset and the key to our success - and yours. That’s the reason we make sure that they always feel appreciated... [and] secure... [and] that working for us is effortless by inspiring them to do their best and providing a rewarding culture which encourages them to strive for more.

“As part of our world, we ask that they conduct themselves in accordance with our values: values that drive our relationships with each other and with our customers, and that ultimately ensure our success.”

Barloworld Equipment South Africa can consequently assign its success to five integral pillars by which the Company gauges itself; in regards to its client communications, its employee

commitments, and its influence on the wider industry and region’s economic progression.

The first of these pillars is integrity and the power of honesty, which is complemented by enhanced levels of teamwork - the power of working together, and excellence; “the power of intense focus”.

Then comes commitment and the power of responsibility whereby Barloworld makes it its business to learn everything it can about its brands in order to be a source of knowledge for its customers.

And finally, the Company addresses the power of endurance, otherwise labelled as ‘sustainability’.

“As the sole dealer for Cat® earthmoving equipment, it should come as no surprise that safety is our number one priority and that a culture of safety permeates every aspect and area of our business,” the Company concludes.
