Whichever booming industry you may be in, Marnic Precision Engineering may be the best machine shop in Johannesburg for you. 

We say this because this particular shop has experience and credibility in various industries, namely mining, agriculture, medicine, food and beverage, aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, and energy. 

All these reasons are why we gave it a perfect score for industry diversity. 

Marnic Precision Engineering can do everything from the design, manufacturing, and assembly to quality inspection of parts and tools. It even offers reverse engineering services and product development and realization services for the full scope of machining work. 

To provide precise parts and tools, Marnic Precision Engineering utilizes wire cutting, conventional milling, grinding, and welding techniques. It also uses state-of-the-art CNC turning and milling machines to create tools of high quality. 

Marnic Precision Engineering also has a high BBBEE rating. So, if you’re very particular about the brands you work with, then this machine shop may really be the right fit for you. 

Still, we have a few reservations about this machine shop. For one, it has relatively limited working hours as it’s open on weekdays and only half the day on Fridays. 

Additionally, it’s one of the farthest machine shops listed here. So, you may need to pay more for onsite consultations, deliveries, and other transportation-related costs. 

Now if you’re more interested in the F&B industry, particularly in coffee, then Genio Roasters is what you need. This machine shop specializes in the design and manufacture of coffee-grinding machines. 

We also like that its production floor and showroom are one, so potential clients can see with their own eyes the process by which Genio Roasters creates quality coffee machines. 

Genio Roasters is founded by an engineer, which is why its products and services are built for efficiency. We also like how the company takes into consideration its clients’ needs, thus delivering specialized coffee machines to each and every customer. 

From entire industrial-grade roasting equipment to quality control units and spare parts and tools, Genio Roasters has it. 

All these products are even conveniently available on its online shop, so you can check their specs and estimate prices for specialty products beforehand. 

Genio Roasters even has ready-made items on hand. So, those who need spare parts quickly or are in a hurry to get their own home roaster can also benefit from this shop.

We also commend Genio Roasters for staying in contact with other coffee-related businesses such as barista trainers, finance professionals, bean suppliers, and equipment service technicians. 

The last one is especially helpful as it shows how it cares for its customers during aftersales. Speaking of after-sales, we also like how Genio Roasters has communication lines reserved solely for technical support. 

You can contact them via email or its website to schedule an appointment. Make sure to do so as it’s not open all week and is located outside the city. 

Mfangano Solutions is an expert with agricultural, horticultural, landscaping, forestry, industrial, and waste management. It has everything, from reliable and durable equipment to high-quality and fast services and support. 

So, if you’re looking for equipment such as chippers, grass cutters, grinders, mowers, stump cutters, shredders or products for composting, then Mfangano Solutions may be the perfect shop for you.

Given that it’s an expert with tools associated with the environment, Mfangano Solutions highly considers sustainability. Thus, its machine and equipment products are both effective and efficient.

What we like about Mfangano Solutions is that its website has pages dedicated to featured equipment. So, you can check out pictures and specific details of an equipment before asking for a quotation.

Even better, Mfangano Solutions also has a page dedicated to used equipment and special promos. Thus, those who are a bit short on budget can still benefit from one of the best machine shops in Johannesburg.

Do know that some parts of Mfangano’s website are still under construction. We say this because its equipment pages arranged according to industry application still contain broken links.

What really makes Mfangano Solutions stand out from its competitor machine shops is that it’s among those with long operating hours. The only drawback to this shop is that it’s located outside the city.

Just as its name suggests, Catervent Systems is a machine shop for those in the hospitality industry. It does everything from the design and manufacturing to the delivery and installation of equipment.

We also like that Catervent Systems improves its skills and explores new processes and methods to continue to deliver equipment that meets its client’s standards.

Specifically, Catervent Systems offers dishwashers, refrigeration and chilling equipment, grilling and frying machines, ovens, hoods, and even relatively smaller items like pans and pots. It also offers sinks, tables, shelves, racks, and displays.

Moreover, it has equipment for the health and safety of its clients’ establishments. Such equipment includes fire suppression canopies, ultraviolet and induction hoods, and air purification and ecology units.

We also like that Catervent’s offered products come with online brochures, which you can download. This way, you can scrutinize all the details and formulate appropriate questions before contacting its office.

The only thing missing is a posted price or quotation button for each piece of equipment.

When it comes to contacting Catervent Systems, clients are lucky. We say this because it has a web page containing the contact information of each member of the sales team for direct communications.

This and its optimal location within the city are the reasons why Catervent Systems received high scores for its accessibility and location.

MaxLaser is the best machine shop in Johannesburg if you’re looking for anything related to lasers. 

We say this because it has laser cutting, engraving, and marking machines for industry customers and hobbyists alike. Its models come in desktop, medium, and industry-level sizes.

Apart from these big equipment offers, MaxLaser also sells laser supplies, laser tubes, stamp consumables, stamp holders, and ink pads. These items are listed online, complete with details for your benefit.

However, you’d need to register and log in to MaxLaser’s page before you can check their prices.

We counted this supplier as a machine shop as it still allows clients to specify their specific needs and wants in a laser machine. MaxLaser asks for their client’s preference on materials used, size, and power consumption.

It’s also worth mentioning that MaxLaser offers rent-to-own financing options. Those who want 2- and 5-year installment options can easily check repayment schemes with MaxLaser’s sample computations posted on its website.

This, along with the fact that MaxLaser provides a concrete monthly repayment plan upfront, is the reason we gave MaxLaser a perfect score for pricing and payment.

We also commend MaxLaser for having longer operating hours than other machine shops and suppliers. Still, it’s closed on weekends, so make sure you contact this shop during your regular work hours.
