Part of the Yanmar Group, Himoinsa is a global corporation that designs, manufactures and distributes power generation equipment worldwide. Himoinsa Southern Africa, one of 14 Himoinsa subsidiaries worldwide, provide sales, rental, original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare parts, maintenance and technical services for generators and lighting towers.

Himoinsa Southern Africa offers diesel, gas and hybrid generator sets, control panels and paralleling systems for standby emergency power, prime power, peak power and distributed power.

The company is uniquely placed in the Southern and East African markets to offer flexible rental, purchase and BOOT options to its clients, giving Himoinsa the flexibility to tailor a solution to its clients’ specific short-, medium- and long-term needs.

Himoinsa Southern Africa has three service centre facilities in South Africa – Gqeberha, Johannesburg and Cape Town – one in Dar es Salaam, in Tanzania, and local entities in Zimbabwe and Madagascar to support local projects and customers. The company’s distributor network in Southern and East Africa ensures that Himoinsa can supply OEM spare parts, maintenance and service to its customers across these regions.

All Himoinsa products are global standard ISO 9001: 2008 compliant. The core focus is quality, health and safety and robust reliability, efficiency and sustainability. Himoinsa vertically manufactures all the components of a generator set in its factories, using only the highest quality engines – Yanmar, Scania, Doosan, Iveco, MTU and Mitsubishi.

Being a vertical manufacturer is one of Himoinsa’s main strengths as all the parts are perfectly integrated to ensure the highest operational standards and fuel efficiency. For bespoke solutions, often required for the mining industry, power generation products are designed, customised and adapted to the unique specifications of each project.

The reliability of the company’s generators and lighting towers means that Himoinsa Southern Africa offer best-in-class service intervals and two-year warranties, significantly reducing the running and operational costs of gensets.
