The Galison Group was founded as Galison Manufacturing in 1977 by Peter Thorburn. A qualified engineer, Peter decided to start his own business after managing a company that supplied mining equipment.Starting in a small garage-type workshop supplying scraper runners, the company grew quickly and, just five years later, it settled into its present home in Welkom.It fast became one of the top suppliers of rolling stock, scrapers, grizzlies and chutes to the mining industry, and our production space grew to 20 000m³ over four sites.To further expand our footprint, we added to the Galison Group with Galison Drilling in 1985, Galison Zambia in 2000 and Galnorth Drilling in 2008.Today, Galison Group employs 350 people at five manufacturing sites in Welkom and Rustenburg in South Africa.
