Your trusted engineering partner since 1986
Grimms Group is an engineering service provider that specialises in five main industries: Automotive, Marine, Pumps, Power Generation, And Spare Parts.
The parent company Grimms group was founded in 1986 by the CEO, Shafiek Hendricks, initially to repair auto vehicle’s engines. In 1990 the company decided to open its first workshop, which now offers a range of services for motor vehicles, from routine maintenance to complicated repairs, for private, commercial, and industrial sectors.
Since then, the company has extended its expertise to serve the Marine sector through ACDS division. Grimms ACDS has become one of the most successful diesel engine specialists in the Western Cape. We provide engineering solutions and technology-oriented services for all types of marine diesel engines, including propulsion systems and power generation. More than an engine expert, Grimms Group also offers turnkey project management solutions. The group’s teams are involved with the entire process, from the initial planning phase right through to the finalisation and closure. In addition, to complete turnkey packages, Grimms supplies parts and consumables for all engine models through its spares procurement division in Cape Town.
Grimms Group has recently expanded its expertise in the engineering pump industry to meet the growing needs of its current and future clients. Grimms Pump division specializes in the repair and refurbishment of pumps and related equipment for water transfers, collection, and treatment.
