About — SyncHub Automation

Who We Are

Our Story

SyncHub Automation was formed when two engineering companies, Mechatech Engineering Solutions and HedgeSA, joined forces. Mechatech brought industrial integration engineers, mechanical designers, and software designers. HedgeSA brought mechanical designers, electrical designers, and embedded systems designers. Together, we became a team spanning electrical, mechanical, computer, and mechatronic engineering under one roof.

That range is what sets us apart. Most engineering firms specialise in a single discipline, so every problem looks like a nail, and they reach for the one hammer they know. We work differently. With expertise across disciplines, we can weigh several approaches to a problem and choose the one that actually fits, built from first principles rather than forced into a familiar mould. Very few companies can offer that.

Today, SyncHub Automation is five engineers driven to solve real problems for our clients, through intuitive engineering.

Why SyncHub?

Single accountability. One team, one timeline across every discipline — no subcontractor coordination.
Full in-house capability. Mechanical, electrical, automation, embedded, and field service under one roof.
Proven in demanding environments. Inside Ford and VW production facilities, live airport systems, and advanced manufacturing projects.
Local base, national reach. Based in Port Elizabeth, available nationally across South Africa.
Real product engineering experience. We build our own IoT hardware through our cold chain monitoring product line.
