Allmech recognised at global Runxin conference in China
Allmech managing director Lionel Maasdorp recently attended the Runxin International Conference in China, an event that brought together distributors and agents from 144 countries to mark Runxin’s 25th anniversary and showcase new developments in control valve technology.
Allmech is a leading South African manufacturer of boilers and supplier of water treatment equipment and chemicals and attends the conference annually. Maasdorp says the 2025 meeting highlighted Runxin’s long-standing commitment to affordable access to clean drinking water, as well as the strength of its global partner network.
“What stood out most was the depth of the relationships,” he says. “There is a real sense of trust and mutual benefit between Runxin, its management and staff, and its international agent base. During the celebrations, Runxin acknowledged its very first appointed agents who believed in the company from the beginning.”
During the event, Allmech was named one of just 18 agents worldwide to receive Runxin’s Best Empowered Company award. “It came as a surprise and was received with gratitude,” Lionel says. “The award reaffirms Runxin’s commitment to Allmech as its South African agent and recognises the work we do in promoting their full product range, from household softeners and home RO units to industrial valves, filters and ceramic core ball valves.”
Beyond the recognition, the conference offered valuable opportunities to share insights with peers from around the world, explore best practices, and engage with new product developments. “Being part of a movement focused on delivering clean, drinkable water at an affordable price is important to us,” Maasdorp adds. “Runxin continues to innovate, and with plans to expand production capacity, we expect improved lead times and new solution opportunities for South Africa and the region in 2026.”
