Nico Louw – Managing Director
From the beginning our dedicated staff, led from the front by Nico, have taken the core values of the company seriously, putting service to the customer above all else, paying fanatical attention to detail and exhibiting an excellent work ethic, which has built a company that has grown in both size and reputation.
Renico Plant Hire has established itself as one of the leading plant hire companies in the country. Our fleet of over 300 pieces of large earthmoving equipment and tipper trucks is deployed on various sites across Gauteng and other areas of South Africa and Namibia. Sites include large-scale shopping malls and office developments, casino developments, highway upgrades, mining, and residential parks. Large contracts are also undertaken. Our ever-growing fleet of equipment and vehicles undergoes maintenance on a regular basis within our well equipped and well staffed workshop and is run through a comprehensive checking process before being sent out to our customers or used on any site. In this way we ensure a minimum of downtime to any hirer or project. The growth of the company has resulted in the separation of the company into three divisions – Renico Plant Hire (Pty) Ltd, Renico Quarrying and Crushing (Pty) Ltd and Renico Earthworks & Civils (Pty) Ltd, with each division falling under its own management team.

Environmental Issues
Managing Director Nico Louw insists that there should be a continual awareness of the environment in all the work the Company performs. Whilst appreciating that there will always be some environmental sacrifices in the cause of development and progress, Renico Earthworks & Civils (Pty) Ltd ensures at all times that there is as minimal an impact on the environment as possible on every site we work.
Health & Safety
The key strategic objective is the achievement of “zero harm”. We enjoy the services of a permanently contracted Health & Safety Officer, while Supervisors and management ensure that safety is not compromised in any circumstances by taking responsibility for employee safety, leading by example, encouraging positive safety behaviour and discouraging negative behaviour. Supervisors apply a policy of zero tolerance to non-compliance with safety standards.
Occupational health screening and medicals are undergone throughout the year, ensuring that employees are fit for work in their specific environment. Cases of occupational and non occupational disease are referred to external facilities. No pre-employment testing for HIV is undertaken and all HIV testing and counselling is undertaken voluntarily. Employees who are HIV positive are encouraged to participate in the wellness programmes available through various local clinics.
