utch manufacturing specialist, VALX, has appointed TSE Big Max as an official distributor of its axles for sub-Saharan Africa. VALX Sales Director, Martin van Willigen, confirms that this is the next step in expanding the manufacturer’s sales and service network in the EMEA region, following the establishment of a subsidiary in Dubai to serve the MENA region. Omar Essop, TSE Big Max founding member, says the South African trailer axle market is relatively polarised. TSE Big Max, established in 1985, has its facility in Johannesburg (launched in 1993) as well as a support network, including 15 nationwide distributors along with distributors in several countries north of the Netherlands.

“Our experience in truck trailer axle manufacture, coupled with our extensive support network, make TSE Big Max the ideal partner for fleet operators and trailer manufacturers hungry for innovative and cost-friendly axle alternatives,” Essop says. VALX axles are internationally recognised for ground-breaking design concepts that facilitate greater levels of trailer customisation, payload productivity and resource efficiency.
