Today
Still focused, still specialist
Three decades on, trace heating remains our only business. Same family, same Bredell address, same commitment to engineering-grade products and technical advice.
A family business with technical depth.
Founded and still run by the Saayman family, Heacotex combines hands-on engineering experience with long-standing manufacturer relationships. The result: clients get specs that work, lead times that hold, and someone on the phone who actually understands heat tracing.

Heat tracing only
We don't drift into general electrical work. Trace heating is what we do, every day — which is why we can spec it accurately.
Partnerships over reselling
We represent leading global manufacturers and back their products with our own technical layer. Not a catalogue with a markup.
Engineering, not estimating
A quote from Heacotex includes a circuit design considered against your environment — not a price pulled from a list.
Local accountability
Bredell-based, South African registered. Local stock for common items, local support when something needs explaining.
