Our Story

Sirius Engineering was established in 2002 with the aim of providing Project Management and Engineering Services exclusively for the Food Industry. The focus was on building long time relationships with clients through delivering exceptional service.

The Food Industry provides its own unique challenges in order to meet the regulations guiding this sector – these include Food Safety, HACCP, Hygienic design principles, etc. We pride ourselves that we have a good understanding of these requirements and strive to keep abreast with the latest developments in the industry. Our personnel are carefully handpicked to offer the right skills base, experience and attitude required to match these challenges.

Over time we have established ourselves as a preferred service provider and have built relationships with a number of the Major Food Groups in South Africa.

We continue to successfully design their new facilities and manage projects on their behalf. After all – Our vision is to be the Leading supplier of Project Engineering Services to the Food Industry in South Africa.
