ROTOCON has officially unveiled its new 2,000-square-meter facility and demo center in Longmeadow, Johannesburg. The facility marks a significant strategic investment in the future of the label and packaging industry. Meanwhile, the move from the company’s previous facility took place in April.

The investment in the new facility is further reinforced by the Aengenvoort family’s direct purchase of the building, reflecting their long-term commitment to both South Africa and the continued advancement of the label and packaging industry.

Purpose-built to set a new standard in the sector, the center brings together advanced technology, engineering capability and collaborative spaces within a fully integrated environment.

Inside the new facility

At the heart of the new facility is a state-of-the-art demo center, where it features a fully equipped ROTOCON 450 flexo printing press. The center allows customers to engage directly with live printing technology, enabling them to validate performance, optimize applications, and identify new opportunities in real time.

Through strategic partnerships with leading suppliers, ROTOCON has developed an integrated ecosystem that ensures compatibility, process optimization, and consistently high-quality output for its customers.

Operational strength is embedded throughout the facility. Customized spare parts management and digital ink storage systems enhance responsiveness and minimize downtime.

Advanced tooling and engineering

The site also houses an advanced tooling and specialized engineering division, supported by a highly skilled technical team, a fleet of delivery vehicles, and a modern manufacturing environment. This capability enables ROTOCON to deliver complete, high-performance solutions that extend well beyond mere equipment supply.

All operations are aligned with ISO-certified standards, reinforcing the company’s commitment to quality, reliability and consistency across every aspect of its service offering.

The facility also features a contemporary professional environment, including a dedicated reception area, executive boardroom, and modern office spaces. These facilities have been designed to encourage collaboration, strengthen customer engagement and elevate the overall experience for partners and visitors.

“This investment reflects a clear, strategic intent to strengthen our position in the market and deliver exceptional value to our customers,” states Patrick Aengenvoort, ROTOCON executive director and head of the facility. “We have invested significantly to ensure best-in-class service and support while creating a high-performance environment where our team can grow, collaborate and consistently deliver excellence.”
