Our Founder and CEO, Gys Potgieter, has lived and breathed woodworking since the age of 14.

Today, he still runs his own private operational workshop right on-site at our Johannesburg premises.

"Probably the best wood machine company in SA. Good brands and excellent service at GFP."
"Big thanks to the guys at GFP Machines... We made the trip from Limpopo to pick up a few heavy hitters for the shop. Everything was serviced and ready to go exactly when we arrived. If you're looking for proper woodworking gear and a team that actually knows their stuff, definitely give them a shout."
"Very organized and excellent communication. Smooth process followed after the deal was made and everything was left in their hands on the day of collection. Very happy customer!"
"Thank you to Gys and the GFP team for a great experience. The Felder combination machine arrived in near brand-new condition as promised. Living in Knysna, I bought without seeing the machine, relying totally on what Gys told me, and he was spot on! The whole process was simple and straightforward."
"Your one-stop woodwork machine shop. Speak to Gys for a proper machine at a fair price. He's down to earth and just a lekker guy!"
"AMAZING SERVICE! HUGE thanks to Cobus and the team!"
