CG TRADING (PTY) LTD

CG Trading has served as a trusted engineering supply partner in the Kingdom of Eswatini for more than 38 years. From its base at 178 Simunye Street in Matsapha, the company provides a comprehensive range of bearings, power transmission components, lubricants, and industrial fluids to customers across every sector. Walk through the doors and you quickly understand why this business holds a 4.8‑star reputation: the team combines deep technical knowledge with a genuinely welcoming approach, ensuring that every visitor finds the right solution.

The Matsapha warehouse operates as the primary hub, supported by a second location in Manzini. Both sites maintain extensive in‑house stock of world‑leading brands, which means customers rarely face long lead times for critical parts. Whether you are a maintenance manager at a large factory, a solo farmer needing a replacement bearing for a harvester, or a workshop owner keeping a fleet of vehicles on the road, CG Trading treats every enquiry with the same respect and urgency.

Core Product Lines

The warehouse shelves are carefully curated to meet real demand. Rather than trying to stock everything, the team analyzes what Eswatini’s industries actually consume and adjusts inventory accordingly. This practical approach saves customers time and money.

• Bearings & Power Transmission: As an authorized distributor for SKF and Timken, CG Trading supplies premium bearings, seals, belts, chains, sprockets, pulleys, and complete drive systems. The range covers everything from miniature instrument bearings to large‑bore industrial units.
• Lubricants & Industrial Fluids: The lubricant aisle carries hydraulic oil, gear oil, compressor oil, grease, anti‑freeze, transformer oil, and temperature‑conducting fluids. Products are suitable for automotive, industrial, and food‑processing applications, sourced from global manufacturers with proven performance records.
• Enertec Batteries: Reliable power starts with a quality battery. CG Trading stocks Enertec batteries for automotive, commercial, and heavy‑duty applications, backed by technical advice on selection and maintenance.
• SKF Agri Solutions: Agriculture places unique demands on machinery. The agricultural product line includes sealed bearings, hub units, and lubrication systems specifically engineered to withstand dust, moisture, and heavy loads.

Services & Technical Support

CG Trading is far more than a parts counter. Two dedicated service divisions extend the company’s reach well beyond the warehouse walls, helping businesses improve reliability, reduce downtime, and lower operating costs.

CG Field Services

The field service team travels to customer sites throughout the Hhohho District and beyond, handling on‑site equipment installation, commissioning, preventative maintenance, and emergency breakdown repairs. Technicians carry diagnostic tools that allow them to analyze bearing condition, detect misalignment, and identify lubrication problems before they cause a failure. Common tasks include conveyor system maintenance, motor and drive servicing, bearing and seal replacement, and hands‑on training for maintenance crews.

CG Energy Solutions

Recognizing the growing need for reliable and affordable power, CG Energy Solutions designs and installs intelligent solar and backup power systems for industrial and commercial clients. The offering goes far beyond simply mounting panels on a roof. Each installation incorporates smart monitoring devices, AI‑driven consumption tracking, automated optimization, and real‑time remote reporting. Businesses can track their energy usage patterns, identify waste, and control lighting and appliances from a single dashboard. Battery storage ensures critical equipment keeps running during grid outages, while the overall system reduces electricity bills and carbon footprint.

Industries Served

One of the defining features of CG Trading is the sheer variety of industries it supplies. The customer list includes sugar mills, food processors, timber operations, textile manufacturers, mining companies, transport fleets, construction firms, and municipal water authorities. The common thread is a need for reliable mechanical components and technical advice that helps operations run smoothly.

Solo farmers and small workshops receive the same level of attention as large corporate clients. Many of the business relationships stretch back decades, built on a foundation of trust, fairness, and consistent product availability. The team often visits customer facilities to understand their equipment before recommending a bearing or lubricant, which prevents costly mismatches.

Quality Brands & Distribution Partnerships

CG Trading’s credibility rests heavily on the global brands it represents. SKF and Timken are household names in the bearing and power transmission world, and CG Trading holds authorized distributor status for both. This means customers receive genuine, warranty‑backed products with full traceability. The partnership also provides access to technical documentation, application engineering support, and the latest product innovations.

The company extends the same philosophy to its lubricant and battery suppliers. Every product on the shelf has been selected for proven quality, not just price. Staff members receive ongoing training from suppliers, so they can answer detailed questions about load ratings, operating temperatures, regreasing intervals, and seal compatibility.

Core Values & Customer Commitment

Underpinning the daily operation is a clear set of values. A model of excellence drives the team to implement best practices in every process, from order picking to condition monitoring. Integrity means adhering to high moral principles and professional standards, never cutting corners on product authenticity or safety. The commitment to nurture shows in the way the company educates and develops its workforce, ensuring that every staff member has the knowledge to provide genuine help.

Customers repeatedly praise the friendly, knowledgeable service they receive, whether they walk into the Matsapha warehouse, call the Manzini branch, or request a technical visit. Many reviews specifically mention team members by name, highlighting the personal connection that sets CG Trading apart from faceless chain suppliers.

Location & Operating Hours

The main warehouse is located at 178 Simunye Street in Matsapha, a central industrial hub in the Hhohho District. A second branch operates from Lot 2753, Central Hive Complex in Manzini, giving customers convenient access on both sides of the MR3 highway. Both locations maintain regular business hours, closing on Sundays.
