About us

IRP Engineering Plastics powered by SystemFlex

For 38 years, IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex has been a cornerstone of the South African food, beverage, and packaging industries. Situated in Lanseria Corporate Estate, we have carved a niche for ourselves by prioritising local manufacturing, exceptional customer service, and a commitment to sustainability.

Our core services:

Our Strategic Benefits

We offer distinct advantages over traditional Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) by providing tailored, cost-effective, and innovative solutions.

Cost Efficiency

We focus on reducing costs through competitive pricing and by ensuring that our components extend the life of your equipment, reducing the need for frequent replacements, offering a better return on investment compared to standard OEM parts.

Local Support and Service

We provide comprehensive support and service from our  facilities which are located across South Africa. Our local presence offers a more responsive and personalised service compared to the often slower processes of large OEMs.

Customized Solutions

OEM businesses are tied to specific manufacturers for parts and service, limiting flexibility. This leads to extended downtimes and operational inefficiencies, as companies must adhere to the OEM’s import timelines, product availability, and technological constraints. We deliver innovative solutions faster than traditional OEMs, giving our clients a competitive edge.

quick turnaround times

Long-term contracts with OEMs can further complicate flexibility. These agreements might lock companies into using specific products or services for extended periods, preventing them from adopting newer or more efficient technologies. We stay ahead of industry trends by rapidly developing and deploying new technologies and materials.

Who We Are

Our new 3800-square-meter factory, completed in November 2023, is a testament to our dedication to local manufacturing. Our facility strengthens our position as the largest local manufacturer of conveyor components in the Southern Hemisphere.

We understand the importance of environmental responsibility and have implemented several initiatives to minimise our carbon footprint. Our new factory boasts a solar system comprised of 340 panels and 2 x 100kWh batteries. This system allows our workshop to run entirely off the grid and is not affected by power supply issues, ensuring our customers have on-time delivery and minimal delays. This system also significantly reduces energy consumption and our carbon footprint. 

Our Molding Division also benefits from 45% solar power, ensuring continued production efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint.

Our advanced manufacturing facility, with over 60 dedicated employees, features a specialized workshop equipped with multiple CNC machines, a dedicated moulding section housing 10 injection moulding machines and an assembly area for constructing modular belts, chains, and conveyor components. Additionally, our extensive stores area houses over 10,000 stock products which are readily available for urgent situations. This ensures our customers receive the best service, delivery and pricing at all times.
