Southern Drill is a manufacturing business that supplies equipment to the drilling industry, mainly in South Africa but also to almost all Southern African Development Community states. The company supplies two categories of drilling products, namely borehole casing and drill rods. The strength of Southern Drill is built around the excellent drill rods, which are made using a unique welding process. This ensures that the rods are used until they are drilled to a point where they are under-size and need to be replaced - having given the drilling contractor above-average metres drilled per rod.
