Dry cleaning and finishing equipment for Botswana

• Safari lodges and tourism

  Lodges in the Okavango Delta, Chobe and the Makgadikgadi run laundry a long way from the nearest technician. Machines going to those camps are specified for reliability and serviceability first, not for the lowest capital cost.

• Hotels and hospitality

  Hotels in Gaborone, Francistown and Maun processing guest linen, towels, restaurant napery and staff uniforms.

• Dry cleaners

  Gaborone and Francistown both have established dry cleaning trade serving residential and corporate customers. BÖWE machines and VEIT finishing are what we equip them with.

• Mining and corporate

  Workwear and protective clothing laundered at volume, where the wash process has to be repeatable rather than merely adequate.

• Dry cleaning machines for sale in South AfricaBÖWE multi-solvent machines, wet cleaning and commercial washer extractors, installed and serviced locally.

Botswana is directly accessible by road from Johannesburg. The primary route runs on the N4 through Rustenburg to the Tlokweng border gate at Gaborone, with transit under six hours. Francistown deliveries route through the Groblersbrug and Martins Drift border post. Northern destinations including Maun, Kasane and Nata are reached on the A1 and A3. We work with cross-border transporters who run the Botswana corridor regularly, and we handle the South African export documentation.

• A part can be on a truck the same day

  Gaborone is under six hours away. A part identified in the morning is usually on the road before the border closes, which is not true of anywhere else we supply except Lesotho and Eswatini.

• Lodges are the hard case, not the hotels

  Equipment going to the Delta or Chobe is a long way from the nearest technician. We specify those installations for serviceability and stock the wear parts for them here, because a call-out is a flight and a boat.

• Authorised, so the warranty travels

  We are the authorised distributor for ten manufacturers. A machine bought here keeps its factory warranty in Botswana; a parallel import generally does not.

How long is the road from Johannesburg to Gaborone?

Under six hours, on the N4 through Rustenburg to the Tlokweng border gate. It is one of the shortest runs in our network.

What about Francistown and the north?

Francistown routes through the Groblersbrug and Martins Drift border post. Maun, Kasane and Nata are reached on the A1 and A3. Tell us the town and we will quote the corridor that suits it.

Do you use transporters who know the border?

Yes. We work with cross-border operators who run these routes regularly, which is what keeps a machine moving rather than sitting at a gate.
