PEX HYDRAULICS Durban was established in Kwa Zulu Natal in 1988 by Andre` van Rooyen and Sean White as a branch of a Cape Town based company Pex Hydraulics.  The primary focus at this stage was the repair and supply of hydraulic pumps and motors centralized workshop in Cape Town.

However in1993 this changed with the establishment of our KZN workshop facility in New Germany / Pinetown. At this stage additional products were added to our workshop capabilities to include the repair of cylinders, valves and manufacture and repair of power packs.

A quality system was instituted and accredited by the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) Thus ensures that we comply with a specific procedural process including those related to health and safety.

Pex Hydraulics KZN later then aligned itself with Commercial Shearing a Parker owned company internationally giving Pex access to a large range of new hydraulic components which include piston, vane and gear pumps, motors, valves and orbitals

In 2005 Pex Durban was appointed the official Commercial Shearing distributors for KZN and thus the named Commercial Shearing was incorporated.
