Expanding Local Manufacturing:
In June 2024, Woodlands Fire proudly expanded its footprint by opening a branch in Cape Town, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to supplying locally manufactured firefighting equipment to the Western Cape.
Why Cape Town?
As South Africa’s only local manufacturer of both above-ground and underground hydrants, we recognized a strong demand for reliable, cost-effective, and readily available firefighting solutions in the Western Cape. Importing hydrants and associated equipment can be costly and lead to delays in obtaining spare parts. By establishing a local presence, we aimed to offer superior availability, affordability, and technical support to municipalities, contractors, and fire professionals in the region.
Official Approvals from Local Municipalities
Since launching in Cape Town, we have successfully secured approvals from key municipalities, including:
- City of Cape Town
- City of Drakenstein
These approvals formally authorize the installation and use of our hydrants and firefighting products within the Western Cape, reinforcing our commitment to meeting industry standards and regulatory compliance.
The Woodlands Fire Advantage
1. Locally Manufactured Hydrants
Unlike imported alternatives, our hydrants are proudly manufactured in South Africa, ensuring:
✅ Competitive pricing
✅ Readily available spare parts
✅ Compliance with local industry standards
2. A Full Range of Firefighting Equipment
Beyond hydrants, our Cape Town branch supplies a comprehensive range of firefighting and water conveyance products, including:
- Hose reels and fire extinguishers
- Lay-flat hoses
- Valves (butterfly valves, non-return valves, and more)
By manufacturing and supplying these products locally, we help businesses, municipalities, and contractors reduce costs, avoid import delays, and ensure equipment availability when it matters most.
Looking Ahead
With our growing presence in the Western Cape, we are committed to supporting local industries, enhancing fire safety, and ensuring that essential firefighting infrastructure is both accessible and reliable. Whether you’re a contractor, fire department, or municipality, Woodlands Fire is here to provide quality, locally made solutions you can trust.
