- .btn gets border-radius: 999px so all CTAs render as pills instead of hard rectangles. - .hero__art mobile padding bumped 16px -> 24px so the MagBeast schematic has more inset from the screen edge on phones. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

<h2>Built for industry. Stocked in South Africa.</h2>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>JEI South Africa was set up to give South African fabricators direct local access to the JEI range — without the lead time and shipping cost of importing from the UK on every order.</p>

|
||
<p>JEI Solutions (UK) is one of the UK's leading specialists in magnetic drilling and annular cutting, with a catalogue that includes the MagBeast<sup>®</sup> HM Range, MiniBeast™ Cordless, the Turbo™ cutter line, and a broad fabrication range. For twenty-plus years the UK team has built tooling for steel fabrication, rail, energy, defence and heavy engineering.</p>
|
||
<p>JEI South Africa is the authorised local partner — same machines, same warranties, same engineering standard, but with stock on the ground, technical support in SA time zones, and pricing in ZAR. We carry the best-selling machines, the high-turnover cutter sizes, and the consumables that fabricators burn through week-to-week.</p>
|
||
<p>We don't make the machines. We make sure that when a mag drill goes down on a Tuesday afternoon, the replacement is in the post that night, and the technician on the phone knows the difference between a Turbo Tough TCT and an HSS-Co reamer.</p>

<h2>ISO 9001 standard, 12-month machine warranty.</h2>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<p>JEI Solutions (UK) is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and that standard is the floor for JEI South Africa. Machine warranty is 12 months from invoice; cutters and consumables carry a separate, fair-wear-and-tear policy.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="quality">
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h4>ISO 9001:2015 (UK parent)</h4>
|
||
<p>Quality management system audited annually. JEI South Africa operates to the same standard — documented incoming inspection, machine testing, and traceability on every cutter sold.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h4>12-month machine warranty</h4>
|
||
<p>All JEI mag drills carry a 12-month warranty from invoice date. Warranty handled in JHB — no need to ship back to the UK. Loan units available for warranty claims exceeding 5 working days.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h4>Authorised partner status</h4>
|
||
<p>JEI South Africa is the only authorised JEI distributor in the country. Customers buying from us get the same warranty, the same spares, and the same engineering support as customers in the UK.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<h4>Counterfeit avoidance</h4>
|
||
<p>JEI mag drills and cutters are regularly counterfeited in the Far East. Every machine we sell is sourced directly from the UK parent, with serial-number traceability back to Burnley.</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<aside class="story__sidenote">
|
||
<h3>What "ISO 9001 in practice" means here</h3>
|
||
<p>Every machine is bench-tested before dispatch — magnet pull test, no-load current, ground continuity, guard function. Test sheet goes in the box with the machine. Cutter batches are sampled on receipt and dimensional records kept for 7 years. If a job goes wrong, we can pull the test sheet for the machine that did the cutting.</p>
