Zest WEG has many reasons to celebrate
Zest WEG Richards Bay celebrates the branch’s 21-year anniversary, its first year at its new premises in Alumina Allee, as well as the appointment of a new CEO.
Zest WEG Group CEO Mr Siegfried Kreutzfeld visited the branch during its celebratory function on Friday, 15 February. Mr Kreutzfeld was appointed as the new CEO in December 2018.
An electrical engineer by profession with many years’ experience in the company, Mr Kreutzfeld previously worked for WEG in Brazil and China, and he therefore brings an abundance of knowledge and expertise to the group’s African operation.
Mr Kreutzfeld told guests how proud he is to head Zest WEG Group, having started his career at the company more than 30 years ago.
He said that Zest WEG Group has the potential and technology to grow its footprint across Africa, especially in South Africa where there is a huge electricity problem.
The time has come to think of better solutions and introduce better efficiency models to address the need for sustainable energy.
Best service, quality products, on time

I believe this underpins our level of commitment to our clients in this region. Owing to the support and commitment from our clients, we remain a solid, sustainable business with an unwavering value system, which is ‘best service, quality products, on time’!
Almond added that their recently appointed external sales engineer, Phenton Govender, is evidence of the success they continue to strive for.
