Pyrotec is a proudly South African, family-owned company that has helped manufacturers identify, label and protect their products since 1966. What began as a small Cape Town business is today a group of five specialist divisions serving more than 5,000 businesses across South Africa and the continent.
We manufacture on-pack promotional and informational labels, supply world-class coding and labelling equipment, build smart factory software for serialisation and traceability, engineer custom production machinery, and offer finance solutions that keep it all within reach. From a single hand labeller to a fully integrated production line, we support our customers end to end — including the fight against counterfeiting that protects every brand we work with.
Sixty years in, our approach hasn’t changed: build for the long term, and grow together with our customers.
Proudly South African
Pyrotec is a privately owned company proudly based in South Africa. We uphold our commitment to social responsibility through initiatives focused on supporting previously disadvantaged communities, especially in our operational areas — because we believe education and skills development are crucial to Africa’s sustainable growth.
National Footprint, Continental Reach
Our headquarters and factory are in Capricorn Park, Muizenberg, Cape Town, with facilities across the Western Cape, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga. Distributors in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana, and local representation in Eswatini, Angola, Lesotho, Namibia and Mozambique, extend our support across Southern Africa.
60 Years of Experience
Since 1966, we’ve delivered product identification solutions spanning booklet labels, coding equipment, pharmaceutical packaging and labelling machinery. Six decades of experience means our recommendations are grounded in what actually works on real production lines.
Privately Owned, Family Values
Rooted in family values, Pyrotec cherishes relationships built over decades with our staff, suppliers and customers. As a privately owned business, we prioritise trust and integrity in everything we do.
Everything we do is delivered through five specialist divisions, built to work together:
Pyrotec PackMark – Coding, marking and labelling equipment, consumables and technical support.
Pyrotec PackMedia – Product labels, promotional and informational label solutions, and retail merchandising.
Pyrotec PackLink – Smart factory software: serialisation, aggregation, RFID and warehouse applications.
Pyrotec PackWorx – Custom engineering: conveyors, feeders, checkweighers and handling systems.
Pyrotec Finance – Flexible finance and rental options for essential production equipment.
“A team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other.”
