Brief
History

Decades of growth, innovation and commitment to advancing South Africa’s healthcare infrastructure.

Our Journey of Growth, Innovation & Excellence

The Hutz Group of Companies was founded in the 1970s by German entrepreneur Wolfgang Hutz. As the business grew, so did its vision, evolving from a single focus into a diverse group dedicated to supporting the healthcare industry. 

From Entrepreneurial Vision to Diversified Healthcare Solutions 

What began with a focus on lighting gradually expanded into specialised divisions serving different areas of healthcare. Today the group includes Hutz Medical, focused on medical device manufacturing; Hutz Hospi-Tec, dedicated to hospital refurbishments and upgrades; and Hutz Engineering, providing engineering expertise to support the sector. 

Established in 1999, Hutz Hospi-Tec focuses specifically on hospital projects, upgrades and refurbishments, helping healthcare facilities modernise their environments while maintaining operational continuity. 

Proudly South African with a National Footprint 

Proudly South African and a Level 2 BBBEE contributor, the company’s head office is based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), with satellite offices in major city centres including Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town. This national presence allows the team to support healthcare facilities across the country. 

Specialised Expertise in Hospital Standards and Compliance 

The Hutz Hospi-Tec team brings together a wide range of specialised expertise. This ensures that hospital-specific requirements and regulatory standards are carefully implemented while delivering practical, cost-effective solutions. 

Tailor-Made Professional Services for Every Project 

Every healthcare project is unique. Our team works closely with clients to understand their specific needs and deliver professional services that are tailored to the requirements of each project, supporting the ongoing development of South Africa’s healthcare infrastructure. 

Strengthening Leadership with Industry Experience 

In 2017, Hutz Hospi-Tec welcomed Dr Jacky Rampedi as a Director. As the founder of the Phelang Bonolo Healthcare Group, established more than 20 years ago, Dr Rampedi brings valuable industry insight and leadership to the company. 

Commitment to Quality and International Certification 

Quality, innovation and attention to detail remain central to the Hutz philosophy. Over the years, the company has achieved several important certifications, including ISO 9001 (2004), ISO 13485  and SAHPRA licensing, reinforcing its commitment to internationally recognised standards. 

A Growing Team Guided by Family Values 

Today, the Hutz family has grown to include more than 80 dedicated employees. Despite this growth, the company’s founding philosophy remains unchanged, fostering a supportive environment where colleagues work together not just as a team, but as a family, united by a shared purpose of strengthening healthcare facilities.
