About Us

We believe that any engineering problem can be
solved with ingenuity, experience and an
entrepreneurial mindset.


Solve specialises in custom engineering solutions, and is an independent company that evolved out of a division of Topshell Gauteng Pty Ltd, a leading container rental company. This was due to the demand for innovative manufacturing and engineering solutions beyond purely container conversions.

Solve works closely with customers and end users across Africa to develop and deliver custom-built solutions to fulfil unique and specialised engineering requirements. No challenge is too big for Solve’s exceptional team of over 40 highly-skilled individuals which include qualified engineers, designers, draftsmen, project managers, welders, electricians and boilermakers.

All manufacturing takes place under one roof in a 3500m2 factory situated in Midrand, Johannesburg.

The company has a vision to become South Africa’s leading manufacturer of custom engineering solutions by being flexible, solution-driven and adaptive to multiple industries and to serve respected businesses and brands across the world. Industries that are currently Solve’s biggest growth-drivers are mobile substations, mobile MCC’s and E-Houses. Planning, attention to detail and craftsmanship are all values that Solve instils in all projects to ensure the highest quality when delivering turnkey solutions.
