INDUSTRIAL services solutions providers TMS Group Industrial Services and Redec Services, which provides industrial and engineering solutions, are to merge. Both businesses are part of the Sekta Group, a 51% black women-owned group of highly reputable industrial services companies.
The merged entity is called TMS-Redec and will take advantage of the complementary overlap between services and sectors.
TMS was originally part of the Bidvest Group, before being acquired by Sekta Group. The business provides industrial cleaning, access, maintenance, insulation and support services to South Africa’s oil and gas, energy, construction, and petrochemical sectors.
Redec is a provider of commercial and industrial painting services and is the global contractor for repair product manufacturers across many disciplines. Together, TMS and Redec offer a wider and more specialised range of services. Clients include Sasol, Eskom, Astron, Sapref, Engen, Pioneer Foods and SA Breweries.
“Both TMS and Redec are well-established in their respective fields. Merging them combines deep and complementary industry knowledge and creates a larger geographical footprint, in line with Sekta’s strategy to expand in South Africa and into the rest of Africa. TMS-Redec will offer a broader range of services and clients will benefit from dealing with fewer vendors. Instead, they deal with one company covering multiple disciplines,” says Liran Assness, Sekta CEO.
TMS offers scaffolding and other access solutions, asbestos removal, insulation and cladding, abrasive blasting, industrial coatings, catalyst handling, chemical cleaning, tank desludging and cleaning, cold cutting, high-pressure power washing and industrial vacuumation and other specialised services.
Redec offers specialised corrosion protection coatings, abrasive blasting, fireproofing and industrial fire protection, epoxy and specialised floor coatings, tank cleaning and waste removal, concrete rehabilitation, repairs to marine vessels, rope access as well as cladding and insulation and other associated services.
Both TMS and Redec have worked on projects of all sizes and durations and maintain a presence throughout the African continent, including South Africa, Mozambique, Botswana and Tanzania across several disciplines.
