Team

People at the bench

Meet the Feature Equipment team who work directly with buyers and keep our workshop running. Each looks after a different stage, from setup to service.

Who you deal with on the floor and on install

Every Feature Equipment machine is backed by a team member who knows the work and the gear. Mr Velaphi Ramoroka covers routers and spindles, advising on setups for everything from signage to solid wood. Ms Boitumelo Biyela manages our machine bays and plans installations, making sure site conditions, electricals, and handover run smoothly whether you’re in Joburg, Durban or Gqeberha.

Mr Riaan Swanepoel tracks specifications and tooling records. He helps buyers check compatibility, maintain tool inventories, and keep the right spares on hand. For fibre laser marking, lens care and cell setup, Ms Nuraan Fakier is your point of contact for everything from optics to operator routines.

Ms Thembisa Tau looks after dust extraction and filtration, answering questions on filter stages, wood dust limits and compliance for workshops and schools. Mr Ashlin Gounden takes responsibility for machine service, operator handovers and training so teams get running safely and efficiently.
