Based in Paarl in the Western Cape, Vannpax provides custom-made support to the Food Packaging Machine Industry in Southern Africa and abroad. Owner Johann van Niekerk started the company in October 2013, after gaining more than 23 years experience in the maintenance of packaging machines in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Vannpax was formed due to a perceived shortage of skilled artisans in factories and production plants.

Johann and a team of four skilled service technicians, support a wide range of customers in the packaging & manufacturing industries and provide a full range of services. The range of services offered include design and manufacturing of new food packaging machines, preventative maintenance, emergency repairs of packaging equipment and production assistance.
