Leadership that keeps the work practical
Sibusiso Mthembu leads Channel Letter with a hands on focus that suits the signage trade. He keeps the business focused on what sign makers need in South Africa: channel-letter benders, coils and returns backed by practical support from Midrand. He understands the pressure of deadlines, power interruptions, and the need to get production back on track without wasting material.
Our Midrand base gives the leadership team easy access to clients across Gauteng, with regular work in Sandton, Pretoria, the East Rand and West Rand. That reach matters when a client needs a machine checked, a new operator trained, or a return ordered to suit a specific job. Sibusiso keeps the business grounded in service, not talk.
- Clear guidance for small workshops and larger manufacturers
- Support shaped around local production needs
- Fast decisions when timing and accuracy matter
Sales and client support that understand sign shops
Bonolo Sithole handles sales with a proper understanding of how a sign shop runs day to day. He listens to the size of the job, the type of profiles being formed, and the operator experience before recommending the right machine, coils or returns. That saves time and helps clients avoid buying the wrong specification for their workload.
Thandeka Zwane supports clients after the sale, from order follow up to practical queries about spares, delivery and training dates. She often helps clients in Durban and along the coast where humidity can affect storage and material handling, and she keeps communication simple. If a client is juggling municipal deadlines or a retail fit out, she helps keep the paper work and updates in order, no fuss.

Technical knowledge built for workshop reality
Kobus Joubert is the technical manager and the person many clients want when a machine needs careful setup or fault finding. He works through alignment, feed consistency and the small adjustments that make the difference between waste and clean output. His approach is practical, and he sets each machine up for the dust and heat of the workshop it will run in.
Desigan Soobramoney manages installations and site readiness. He plans machine placement, checks access, and makes sure the client has the right space, power and workflow before commissioning begins. When a machine needs to go into production quickly, Desigan keeps the process orderly so the team can start with confidence, not guesswork. He has handled installs from Midrand industrial units to busy production floors in Pretoria and the East Rand.

Training that leaves operators confident
Mamello Zwane coordinates operator training and refresher sessions for teams of different skill levels. Some clients need the basics, like safe setup and clean feeding of material, while others want help with production coaching on faster changeovers and better output consistency. Mamello keeps training calm and practical, and she works well with teams who learn best by doing.
Training is especially useful when a workshop has new staff, a second shift, or a machine moving into heavier use. Mamello also assists with remote tech help where a quick session can solve a simple issue before it turns into downtime. For sign makers in areas where every hour counts, that support can keep a run on track, even if the power cuts out mid shift.

- Refresher Training for changing teams and processes

Operations and servicing that protect production time
Yaseen Gamieldien leads operations with a strong focus on timing, stock control and service follow through. He keeps track of spares supply, schedules preventive servicing and makes sure the right parts are available when a client needs them. That kind of planning matters for workshops in Gauteng and further afield where a delay can push a full sign job off schedule.
Yaseen also supports installation planning and makes sure the handover between sales, technical and client support stays clean. When a client asks for material selection advice or needs a spare return matched to current production, he helps keep the process efficient. It is the sort of backend work that customers do not always see, but they feel it when machines keep running.

Channel Letter support from sales to commissioning
Every person on the Channel Letter team brings a different strength, but they work towards the same result: better output for the client. From the first sales enquiry to onsite commissioning, from a quick spare to a refresher session, the team understands the pace of signage work in South Africa. We serve Midrand, Sandton, Pretoria, East Rand, West Rand and Durban, and we also support installations nationwide.
Clients come to us when they need more than a machine on a delivery note. They want guidance, backup and people who know the pressure of deadline work. That is what this team offers, and it is why many workshops stay with us for the long run. If you need help choosing the right setup or getting your crew ready, the right person is ready to talk.
