A New Name You Already Know
The construction and mining industries thrive on reliability, clarity, and trust — values that DISA Equipment has upheld for decades under various banners. Today, the company steps confidently into the spotlight by formally trading under the name it has legally held since 2008: DISA Equipment. This brand alignment is not a rebrand in the conventional sense. There’s no change in ownership, product range, or service quality — only a renewed focus on brand clarity that better reflects its leadership in heavy machinery supply.
Whether you’ve known our construction equipment through Develon, Doosan, or Everdigm, the machines and services you trust remain the same — only now, they come with clearer branding that reinforces our longstanding commitment to performance, support, and innovation.
Our Name Journey – From Legacy to Clarity
Understanding where DISA Equipment comes from provides insight into our growth and our future direction. Here’s a brief look at our evolution:
- 1998 – Founded as Daewoo Heavy Industries South Africa (Pty) Ltd, establishing a solid local footprint.
- 2005 – Transitioned to Doosan Infracore South Africa following a global acquisition.
- 2008 – Legally renamed DISA Equipment (Pty) Ltd, a name that quietly powered our partnerships and machinery distribution.
- Today – We proudly operate as DISA Equipment, the official supplier of Develon, Tonly, and Everdigm equipment in Southern Africa.
The name DISA Equipment is not new — it’s the trusted foundation that has powered our partnerships, technical services, and machine performance for over 15 years.
