Every can that gets sealed properly starts with a part we made.

Founded in 1991 by Kobus Botha, Kobot Engineering is based in the Paarl Valley, manufacturing precision parts and tooling for the can and canning industry. What began as a specialist parts workshop has grown into a full-service partner: design, CNC machining, seamer and filler refurbishment, purpose-built production machinery and machine rebuilding, all delivered from one site, with in-house inspection on every component.

Our story
Kobot Engineering premises, Paarl Valley
Kobot Engineering, Paarl Valley

Six disciplines. One workshop.

Specialty spares, made to drawing.

Every part starts as a worn original, a technical drawing, or both. Kobot machines specialty spares to a minimum tolerance of 0.005mm, the kind of precision a seaming head genuinely needs to run true.

A workshop built for low-volume, high-precision work.

CNC turning and milling, surface and cylindrical grinding, and a dedicated grinding room, all on the same Paarl Valley premises, with in-house inspection on every job.

CNC capability, run daily.

Every CNC cell, lathe and grinder on the floor runs jobs daily, from one-off spares to full production batches. It's a working machine shop, not a showroom.
