It is said that farming is a profession of hope. This is because farmers know one thing for certain – that nothing can be known. Radium Engineering offers one constant to level this playing field of unknowns: expertly designed, reliable implements – manufactured to perform faultlessly over years.
Radium’s story started on a Limpopo farm in 1965, when John Roest built a cattle scale, and its immense success lead to an operation dedicated to the equipment needs of local farmers. Its uncomplicated, effective operation led to demand from local farmers, and was patented and manufacture started. Radium Engineering was officially established in 1976, and have been making the difference ever since.
Mike Roest, John Roest’s son, now leads the Radium team of more than 100 skilled staff at their base in Babelegi, north of Pretoria. He is joined by the third generation of the Roest family, sons Gareth and Grant.
Radium Engineering maintains its reputation of quality, original design and reliability by staying on the forefront of technological, design and production breakthroughs. Through an on-going research and development program, Radium constantly expands and enriches their product range.
Radium has an extended dealer network throughout South Africa and also supplies to key international markets. They ascribe their success to decades of solid experience, an unquenchable passion for the industry and superior after-sales service.
