Established in 1966, Janton Engineering Works is based in Springs,
Gauteng, but service the whole of South Africa.
OUR HISTORY
1966
Janton Engineering Works was started in a garage in Wright Park, Springs by 2 brothers, Jan and Tony Schaap. Soon the garage became too small and in 1966, the brothers moved into a little workshop in Geduld Extension, Springs. Jan decided to move back to the Netherlands and Tony carried on with the business. Soon he had ARMSCOR, Union Carriage, Boart Hard Metals, Van Leer and a few smaller Companies for customers. The Business grew and soon they had to move on to bigger premises in Nuffield, Springs.
1996
In 1996 Martin took over the Company when Tony passed away. At this time, Martin started replacing the machinery with CNC’s and Janton went from strength to strength once again. At this stage, some of our customers were DENEL Land Systems, David Brown, Alfa International, Vanda, Le Cell, Hausler Instrumentation, Widney, lmfuyo Projects, Boat International, and Trident Steel.
Janton was instrumental in developing bonding machinery for Trico, a company that manufactured the new age wiper blades for vehicles, and also in developing a revolutionary new holder for cutting and polishing diamonds for the Canadian Government.
