Radium Engineering

General information

In 1965 John Roest built a cattle scale on his farm near Radium in the Northern Transvaal to meet his specific requirements. Forethought in the construction facilitated uncomplicated and effective operation. Demand from neighbours resulted in the design being patented and units manufactured to initially satisfy local requirements.

By 1976 when Radium Engineering was established, the exceptional quality, innovative design and dependability of their implements were well recognised and accepted throughout the agricultural industry. Under the leadership of John's son Mike Roest, Radium Engineering has gone from strength to strength and now employs in excess of 70 well-trained staff, manufacturing and marketing a comprehensive range of quality agricultural machinery through their extensive production facilities in Babelegi, north of Pretoria.

The third generation of the Roest family, sons Gareth and Grant, have now taken their places with the Radium team as Radium Engineering supplies an extensive dealer network throughout South Africa as well as exporting to neighbouring states and overseas.
