SA’s leaders
in sustainable conveyor components
For 38 years, IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex has been a cornerstone of the South African food, beverage, and packaging industries. Situated in Lanseria Corporate Estate, the company has carved a niche for itself by prioritising local manufacturing, exceptional customer service, and a commitment to sustainability.
A legacy built on quality and relationships
IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex's core value is to be a reliable and trusted partner for its customers. This commitment manifests in several ways. First, the company prioritises on-time delivery, ensuring production lines stay operational. Second, they produce high-quality conveyor components locally, eliminating reliance on overseas suppliers and offering competitive pricing. Finally, IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex fosters personal relationships with its clients, providing expert advice and ensuring their needs are met promptly.
Cassidi Kibble, marketing manager at IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex, emphasizes the importance of these relationships: "They [customers] know that they can rely on us when it comes to advice, delivery, and quality. This is what sets us apart from our competitors."
Innovation and investment drive growth
The company’s dedication to local manufacturing has been a significant driver of growth. Over the years, they have continuously invested in state-of-the-art CNC machinery, injection molding equipment, and tooling. This commitment allows for high-quality production components competitively, passing the cost savings on to their customers.

A testament to this dedication is IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex's new 3800 square meter factory, completed in November 2023. This facility strengthens their position as the largest local manufacturer of conveyor components in the Southern Hemisphere. "We really encourage and would like to invite as many of our customers as possible to come and visit our new facility to showcase how we manufacture," says Kris Kibble, director at IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex. "A picture speaks a thousand words."
HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYMER – HPP
Sustainability at the forefront
The company understands the importance of environmental responsibility and has implemented several initiatives to minimise their carbon footprint. The new factory boasts a solar system comprised of 340 panels and 2 x 100kWh batteries. This system allows the workshop to run entirely off the grid, significantly reducing energy consumption and the company's carbon footprint. Their molding division also benefits from 45% solar power, ensuring continued production efficiency.
Furthermore, IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex actively promotes water conservation through their innovative Dry Running NGE (Next Generation Engineering) product. This system allows customers to significantly reduce water usage during conveyance, potentially saving them up to 90% on water costs and consumption. This product is a win-win for both businesses' bottom lines and the environment.
IRP is SA’s most preferred AMM (Alternative Material Manufacturer) for reversed engineering solutions.

lies ahead
IRP Engineering Plastics Powered by SystemFlex's future looks bright. The company remains focused on providing competitive pricing and fast delivery by continuously investing in local manufacturing and innovative product development. "Our main focus is to continue to provide our customers with competitive pricing and delivery by continuing to invest in our local manufacturing capabilities and new product development," says Kris Kibble. With their commitment to quality, customer service, and sustainability, the company is well-positioned to remain a leader in the South African conveyor component industry for years to come.
