RHPL is a manufacturer in Raipur, India. It has no office, stock, agent or service centre in South Africa, and no South African partner has been appointed yet. We are looking for South African companies that already serve mines, plants and contractors, and that want a manufacturing source behind them for planned kits, OEM-reference assemblies and fittings.
A buyer may require a registered vendor and local service capability. Those requirements must be confirmed with that buyer. A good partnership lets each side do what it does best: the South African company sells, imports, holds stock, invoices and services; RHPL manufactures, tests, tags and gives technical back-up.
Four partner models, in order of fit
| Model | What the partner does | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Local supply partner (importer-distributor) | Imports in its own name, holds its own stock, invoices mines and plants, provides local service | Mining-supply companies and established hose businesses with vendor registrations |
| 2. Dealer / stockist (incl. trade supply) | Buys fittings, ferrules, bulk hose and assemblies for resale from its own workshop or counter | Independent hose workshops and hydraulic shops |
| 3. Sales agent | Introduces enquiries in an agreed province or industry and is paid a commission by RHPL | Experienced hydraulics or mining-sales individuals |
| 4. Referral | Passes on an occasional enquiry | Engineers, consultants, contractors |
Details: local supply partnership · dealer and trade supply · sales agent.
Who makes a good South African partner
- Hose workshops near the mining belts: Northern Cape, Bushveld, Mpumalanga and Waterberg. Applicants can describe their customer sectors, crimping capacity and proposed requirements for planned kits or workshop stock.
- Mining-supply companies with existing vendor numbers at mines, which want to add hydraulic kits to their range without building a hose factory.
- Rebuild and maintenance contractors that buy hoses for many machines at once.
- Hydraulic component shops that rebuild cylinders and pumps and need matching hoses and adaptors.
Ground rules for every model
- No fronting. Partners must be genuine businesses acting for themselves. RHPL does not enter nominee or "fronting" arrangements of any kind.
- No B-BBEE claims by RHPL. RHPL holds no B-BBEE certificate or level. A partner's status is the partner's own.
- Traceable tags stay. Every RHPL assembly keeps its RHPL trace tag, so that test records follow the hose.
- No payment collection. Partners and agents never collect payment on RHPL's behalf. Customers pay RHPL only to the account on RHPL's proforma invoice.
- Written agreements. No partner is announced or named on this site until a written agreement exists.
How it starts
- Send the partner application or a WhatsApp message.
- A review discussion can cover your customer sectors, province or mining belt and proposed sourcing requirements.
- You send a first real requirement, and we quote it in writing.
- If both sides want to continue, the model and territory are written into an agreement.
