Informal talks were held in 1993. The Collisen Group (Electrical and Engineering) Collisen Pumps was started. Our humble beginning was a small workshop area in the back of Engineering's workshop with a tiny wooden office, an ancient test bay, a staff compliment of three (3) and a secondhand LDV. Within 18 months we built our current workshop and changed the company's name to Mpumalanga Pumps cc. In 1994 Mpumalanga Pumps cc was registered as a Closed Corporation and 26% black woman owned. The current members are Gus Ives as the Managing Member. Chris Botha, Tshidi Shube as Financial Member and Peet Botha as Sales and Marketing Member.
