A Kimberley team built around real site work
Modern Equipment has been serving New Park and the wider Northern Cape since 2002, and the team reflects the kind of work we do every day. We handle air-conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, water pumps, auto aircon and solar backup for homes, shops, workshops and small industrial sites, so each person here understands what it means to keep equipment running through summer heat, dusty conditions and load-shedding.
We are based in New Park, Kimberley and work across Roodepan, Galeshewe, Kuruman and Upington. That local reach matters when you need parts checked, a site measured up, or a service call arranged without delay. It also means our team knows the practical details, from borehole pump issues to cold room temperatures and municipal compliance requirements.

- Serving Roodepan, Galeshewe, Kuruman and Upington

Marius Jacobus van der Merwe, Managing Director
Marius leads the business with a strong focus on practical service and steady delivery. He keeps an eye on quotations, project direction and the standard of work expected on every job, whether it is a small split-unit install or a larger refrigeration or solar support project. His role is to make sure the team stays organised and clients get straight answers from the start.
He has grown the business around dependable service and local knowledge, not big promises. That approach suits the Northern Cape where clients need clear timelines, sensible product advice and support that holds up after the installation is complete.
Sales, support and parts that keep jobs moving
Lerato Mokoena leads sales and works closely with customers who need the right equipment for a specific space or duty. She spends time matching capacity, application and budget so the right solution is quoted first time, which saves a lot of back and forth later. Her work is important for contractors, business owners and households needing advice on aircon, pumps or solar backup.
Charlene Daniels handles parts and stores, keeping stock organised so the workshop and field team can get what they need without wasting time. In a town like Kimberley, where a missed fitting can set a job back by hours, this role matters more than most people realise. She keeps records tight and the counter moving.

Workshop and field service with the right hands on the job
Pieter Johannes Botha is our Workshop Supervisor and keeps repairs and preparation work on track before equipment goes out to site. From checking components to making sure units are ready for installation, he helps reduce call-backs and keeps the team working to a proper standard. He is the person who makes sure the workshop runs in a clean, practical way.
Thabo Molefe is our Field Service Technician and takes that workshop work into the field, where site conditions can be dusty, hot and sometimes difficult to access. He handles servicing, fault finding and repairs on aircon, refrigeration and pumps, and he knows the value of a quick diagnosis when a business cannot afford downtime. Good field work is about being prepared, and Thabo brings that mindset to every call out.
Projects, commissioning and on-site coordination
Ayanda Ndlovu coordinates projects and helps keep installations on schedule from the first site visit through to commissioning. This includes aircon installation, cold room builds, ventilation installations and solar backup installation where timing and sequencing really matter. She works closely with clients, contractors and the rest of the team so that site access, equipment delivery and handover all line up properly.
Commissioning support is one of the areas where her role stands out, because getting equipment started correctly can save trouble later. Whether the job is in Galeshewe, Kuruman or Upington, Ayanda helps make sure the final checks, test runs and sign-off happen in order, with no loose ends left behind.

Customer care that keeps the phone answered
Nadia September is the first point of contact for many customers and keeps enquiries moving in the right direction. She handles customer support administration, follows up on service requests and helps make sure people know what is happening with their jobs. That kind of communication is important when a cold room, pump or aircon issue needs quick attention and clear feedback.
In a business like ours, good admin is not just paperwork, it is part of the service. Nadia helps keep records accurate, schedules in order and customers informed, which means less confusion and better planning for everyone involved.
Why this team works well for the Northern Cape
Our team is built around practical knowledge, local response and steady support. We work across New Park, Kimberley and surrounding areas with the understanding that weather, distance and power interruptions can all affect equipment performance. That is why our team values proper servicing, correct installation and clear communication from start to finish.
When you speak to Modern Equipment, you are speaking to people who know the region and the work. From aircon servicing in town to pump repairs on the edge of the city, the team is set up to help with the right advice and a proper follow-through.
