Our History
Flat-Foot Engineering is a fully-fledged mechanical engineering provider, with a systems-based approach. We specialise in the supply, installation and repair of boilers, steam lines, laundry equipment, autoclaves kitchen equipment, and Medical gas including Compressed gasses.
We also design and manufacture customised high-quality hot water vessels according to the PD5500:215 welding procedures. Flat-Foot has grown tremendously since its formation in 2006, becoming one of the leading 100% black-owned and managed electro-mechanical companies with headquarters in East London and branches in Port Elizabeth and Mthatha, and a growing presence in Johannesburg
Started by Max Mabuti, a professional boxer with just a wheelbarrow to deliver his product and a dream, Flat-Foot’s exponential growth and expansion into diverse sectors is driven by an executive team led by historically disadvantaged South African individuals (HDI’s) with a wealth of experience in Mechanical Engineering and related fields. For our clients, this means that we’ve got every mechanical and engineering need covered, be it delivering kitchen and laundry equipment throughout the country, managing the mechanical needs of all the private and government hospitals, or installing of hot water vessels for all our clients.

Our Objectives
Just like our CEO in his boxing days, we’re determined to go the distance; providing quality service to satisfy the needs of our clients while always ensuring the health and safety of our operations.
It’s why we’re continuously improving our quality standards, why we’re developing our own manufacturing units, why we won the ROCCI/FNB Business of the Year Award and why we consistently review and improve our systems, striving for technological
efficiency through automation.
We’re proud that nearly a third of our turnover is business we pass on to up-and-coming black-owned subcontractors, as part of our Enterprise Development Programme aimed at giving back to the community.
