Unyazi Sales & Services

What Unyazi Sales & Services does

Unyazi Sales & Services Pty Ltd is a privately held South African industrial engineering company, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Cape Town with a secondary office in Walvis Bay, Namibia. The company supplies and services industrial valves, actuators, and instrumentation for heavy-process industries across Southern Africa, including oil and gas, power generation, mining and minerals, water and wastewater, chemical, pulp and paper, iron and steel, and food and beverage. Its product portfolio spans precision valves (ball, butterfly, check, control, diaphragm, globe, isolation, knife gate, pinch, plug, safety relief, and triple offset butterfly), smart automation components (actuators, digital valve controllers, positioners), and instrumentation systems, sourced under an official partnership with leading Italian valve manufacturers such as Trutorq R Italia.

The business operates a combined hardware-and-services model: industrial valve and automation hardware is supplied alongside in-house and on-site valve inspection, repair, diagnostics, hydrostatic and seat-leak testing, calibration, overhauls, and specialised refinery shutdown and turnaround support. Field service teams are factory-trained to assemble to manufacturer standards and can test valves from 1/2" to 50" up to ASME class 4500, with technicians mobilised throughout Southern Africa. Quality and compliance positioning is anchored by ISO 9001-2015 certification and BBBEE Level 1 status, which enables customer organisations to achieve 135% procurement recognition — a meaningful procurement lever in South African enterprise and parastatal contracts.

The go-to-market is a direct, enterprise field-sales motion targeting procurement and engineering teams at large industrial buyers. Pricing is quote-based and customised to application requirements, pressure ratings, materials, and certifications. The customer base includes Astron Energy, Tronox, BP, Proxa, Huhtamaki, Eskom, and Engen. Revenue, headcount, and ownership details are not publicly disclosed; no external funding rounds, M&A, or subsidiary structures are recorded, and the company appears to be independently or founder-held.
