Dierk Wendt, Managing director of Knuth Gmbh approached Ludwig Oellermann about starting a Knuth Machine Tools branch in South Africa. At that time Ludwig had been an employee of Machine Tool Technologies, who were agents of the Knuth Brand in South Africa. Having worked within the industry for many years and knowing there was a clear gap for quality machine tools, Ludwig instinctively knew that this was a golden opportunity he was not going to let pass. Knuth SA has grown from year to year. Currently 17 dedicated employees ensure that Knuth’s plans for success continue to thrive.
