History
Murton Systems Tech (PTY) LTD, formally Murton Electronics cc, was founded in 1979. We were awarded the SIS500 contract by Transnet in 1995, amidst aggressive competition from both local and international companies. Some of the other companies, which submitted tenders, consisted of large multi-nationals like Siemens and Westinghouse.
MSTech is the only provider of this particular product, which we manufacture solely for TRANSNET and PRASA
We are the preferred manufacturer of TRANSNET and PRASA, Telemetry, Battery Chargers, R232, Telephone & other products.
In 2001, Fimm Works (PTY) LTD, an engineering and project management company, operating primarily within the Defence, Manufacturing and Electronics sectors of the Southern Africa and European Markets bought an interest in Murton System Technologies with a view to adding Fimm’s system engineering and software (embedded) capabilities to Murton’s manufacturing base, thereby creating a specialized electronics system company operating primarily in the commercial security and communications markets
