About Rapid Allweiler
Rapid Allweiler supports South African industry with pump solutions built around reliability, technical understanding and long-term value. Since 1932, the company has developed a strong reputation for helping clients select, supply, service and support pumps for demanding applications.
Today, Rapid combines local manufacturing capability, practical workshop experience and German engineering association through Allweiler to support sectors where uptime, correct specification and serviceability matter.

94 Years of Pumping Heritage
Rapid’s history dates back to 1932, giving the business more than nine decades of experience in pump supply, manufacturing support and application knowledge.
This heritage matters because industrial pump requirements are rarely simple. Every sector, site and application brings different demands, from fluid characteristics and pressure requirements to temperature, solids content, maintenance access and operating environment.
Over 94 years, Rapid has built practical knowledge across industries such as mining, agriculture, manufacturing, water and wastewater, power generation, food and beverage, chemical processing, petrochemical applications, marine, defence and oil and gas.
Our longevity reflects more than time in business. It reflects stability, accountability and accumulated pumping experience that clients can rely on when making technical and procurement decisions.

For industrial clients, local capability matters. It helps reduce the risks associated with long supply chains, improves access to technical assistance and supports faster response when repairs, service or spare parts are required.
Rapid’s workshop support allows the business to assist clients beyond the initial sale. Whether a client needs a new pump, a replacement unit, repair support, maintenance guidance or aftermarket assistance, Rapid can provide practical support rooted in local capability.
This local presence is especially valuable for demanding industrial environments where downtime can affect production, safety, cost and continuity.
