CONSISTENTLY RELIABLE SUPPLIERS OF PRINT EQUIPMENT AND AFTER-SALES SERVICE SINCE 1967

 

THE HISTORY OF TRISAVE

Reinhard Pieper came to Cape Town, South Africa from Germany in 1958 to install and commission machinery. He soon recognized the need for professional repairs and maintenance services in the Printing Industry. Sales agents were offering new machinery but with very little, or no after-sales support.

Pressma Services was established in 1967 and grew quickly, opening branches nationally. In 1977 Reinhard Pieper founded Trisave to supply the Printing Industry with quality new and used machinery backed with the same reliable after-sales service the Industry had come to trust.

The back-up service grew from strength to strength and extended into the export market. The company was duly recognized for its consistently reliable service and awarded the prestigious State President’s Export Award in 1989.

In 2013 Reinhard Pieper partially retired from the daily running of the business and handed over the reins to his very  capable son Dirk Pieper and wife Marcelle.

Dirk Pieper who has been with the company since 1992 studied Mechanical Engineering and thereafter worked in Germany receiving training from various German suppliers.

Today Trisave has a well-equipped workshop and showroom in Cape Town with highly skilled and well trained staff ready to continue the tradition of quality equipment and machinery with great after-sales service.
