About Us
OUR STORY
Nexus Engineering was established in Kensington, Johannesburg, in 2002. Right from the start the understanding was that we need people to help us grow. The very name of our company, NEXUS, became our work and business philosophy.
The word Nexus means “central link or connection” or “the working together of people”. This was where we found ourselves developing our purpose statement - “working with people to engineer solutions”.
From our humble beginnings, we now find ourselves making an impact in the global market with an ever-increasing footprint in the local market. Our stock levels cause continuous challenges for our auditors, but our Business Partners value the availability that this offers.
