OST’s product portfolio is divided into three specific categories – screen range, transmission range and material handling.
The main activity of OST is to design, develop and manufacture new products or applications using the Neidhart system concept which was first patented by Herman Neidhart in 1948. OST has used the Neidhart concept in a vast range of products and patented this invention in 1991 called the self- tensioning motor base. This unique design has, for the first time, enabled users to enjoy maintenance free operation from V-Belt drives. Since then we strived to value engineered the product constantly. We also export our products to the U.S.A. and Europe.

We are the sole distributors of the Visam vibrator motor in Africa. These are imported from Italy.

We deliver high quality, maintenance free, engineering solutions within the mining, process, farming and pharmaceutical industries to name but a few.
