Wishing the Sumetzberger team all the very best at the WHX Expo at Gallagher Estate! 🇿🇦

It’s fantastic to see Sumetzberger showcasing its innovative Pneumatic Tube Transportation Systems and continuing to support the healthcare industry with reliable, efficient and proven solutions.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to the exhibition this time, and I’m truly sorry to miss the opportunity to meet with the team, clients and industry professionals.

I have been involved with Sumetzberger systems for many years, and it’s always exciting to see the technology and the people behind it continuing to grow across Africa and internationally.

If you are attending WHX Expo, make sure you visit the Sumetzberger team at Gallagher Estate and discover how pneumatic tube transportation can improve the safe and efficient movement of materials throughout hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Wishing the team a successful and productive exhibition! 👏

Working from South Africa and supporting a well-known international product like Sumetzberger Pneumatic Tube Transportation Systems, I have found that one of the biggest challenges is not the technology, the product or the technical expertise — it is getting into the African markets.

I have worked on projects in Angola, Mozambique and Zanzibar, gaining valuable experience working in different environments, cultures and healthcare markets across Africa.

But entering new African countries can be challenging. In many cases, you need to know someone who knows someone — someone who understands the local market, knows the right decision-makers and, most importantly, can open the door and establish trust.

This is why I believe that relationships, local partnerships and trust are so important when expanding across Africa.

Through GMS Pneumatics, I want to build stronger connections across the continent and support the growth of Sumetzberger Pneumatic Tube Transportation Systems in Africa.

With many years of hands-on experience, I can provide support in:

🔹 System design and technical consulting
🔹 Supply, installation and commissioning
🔹 Project management
🔹 Fault finding, repairs and maintenance
🔹 System upgrades and modifications
🔹 Existing system revitalisation
🔹 Technical training and skills development
🔹 Remote and on-site technical support

I am looking to connect with hospitals, healthcare groups, engineering companies, maintenance organisations, project managers, consultants, facility-management companies and potential business partners across Africa.

Africa has enormous potential for advanced, reliable and cost-effective pneumatic tube transportation.

Sometimes, all it takes is the right person to open the first door. 🌍🤝

And perhaps you are the person who knows someone who knows someone.

Let's connect.

Looking back at my career, I can honestly say I would not change anything. Every chapter and every experience along the way helped shape me into the technical, mechanical, electrical and electronic person I am today.

At 18, I went from being a barman into the technical world, working with the installation of hospital intercom systems and two-way radio towers.

In my 20s came my first serious long-term position, working for a German gentleman at Anker Data Systems, where I spent approximately seven years. That experience gave me a strong technical foundation and taught me the importance of quality, discipline and attention to detail.

The next chapter took me into network cabling, including training at IBM, followed by another chapter working with PABX telephone systems.

From there, I became more of a general technical "hands-on" person, working with security systems, lightweight building solutions, plumbing, electrical work and air-conditioning installations. I even travelled to China for air-conditioning training, adding another skill to my growing technical toolbox.

Then came another important chapter — building automation and pneumatic tube transportation systems. This led me to Sumetzberger, where I became involved in the installation, commissioning, fault-finding, programming, maintenance and support of pneumatic tube transportation systems — work I am still actively involved with today.

When I look back, I realise that every chapter was preparing me for the next one.

Today, I see myself as a multi-skilled technical specialist who understands not only individual systems, but also how different trades and technologies come together in real-world working environments.

That experience has given me a practical understanding of what is required day to day on a project, in a building, in a hospital or on an industrial site.

And at 58, I’m still learning. My next areas of interest are robotics, hospital automation and the new generation of intelligent automated systems.

The journey is far from over.
Every chapter added another tool to the toolbox. 🔧⚙️🤖

Seeing a team installing an air tube transportation system in India during the current heat wave brings back memories of one of my own installations in Zanzibar.

I remember just how hot it was. I would walk around with a towel around my neck while doing wiring, programming and quality checks.

Because of the heat, I often did most of the detailed quality checks early in the morning or late at night when the temperatures were more manageable.

Working in those conditions certainly isn't easy, but when you're responsible for getting a system installed, programmed, tested and working properly, you find a way.

It brings back some great memories — and a lot of respect for the teams out there doing the same work in extreme conditions. 🌡️🔧
