Ball mill assembled at our yard

Built for
the industry

A dynamic, B-BBEE compliant supplier of mining equipment and engineering solutions — with the workshop, stock and field teams to back it up.

Who we are

One team from
quote to commissioning

Ubuntu Mining Supplies supplies and services the equipment that keeps mines, quarries and processing plants running. Operating alongside our sister company BG Industrial, we bring more than 31 years of industry expertise to every project — from a routine bearing order to a complete plant installation.

What sets us apart is that we do not stop at supply. Our own workshop rebuilds and fabricates, and our field teams travel to site to install, align and commission — so there is one accountable party from the first quote to the moment the plant runs.

Why Ubuntu

What you get
working with us

Deep stock, not lead times

Between our yard and BG Industrial we carry gear units, motors and transmission products on the shelf — so a breakdown does not become a twelve-week import.

A real workshop behind us

Fabrication, line boring, laser alignment and full overhauls happen in house. We repair what can be repaired and only replace what must be.

Field teams that travel

Our crews install, align and commission on site anywhere in South Africa, and are on call when a plant goes down outside office hours.

Brands you can stand behind

We supply genuine SEW, WEG, SKF, Bonfiglioli, Yaskawa and Timken product with the technical data to match the duty.

B-BBEE compliant supplier

A compliant, proudly South African partner that strengthens your procurement scorecard as well as your plant availability.

One accountable partner

Supply, engineering and site work under one roof means no finger-pointing between suppliers when a deadline is tight.
