HISTORY

The history of DWD Technologies Group’s engagement in Botswana dates back to 1947, when the late Mr. Jan de Wet, the paternal grandfather, began drilling operations in what was then the Bechuanaland Protectorate. Today, DWD Technologies Group is a diverse, family-run business, now owned and operated by the third generation, and headquartered in the Republic of Botswana.

 

The company holds the distinction of being the most experienced and longest-standing drilling establishment in this region. Our expertise has been developed over decades, often under the most challenging conditions and in the most remote parts of Botswana. We use world-class, state-of-the-art equipment, customized to meet local requirements and demands. Over the years, the company has diversified into heavy engineering, heavy steel manufacturing, hydraulic hoses and fittings, and agriculture.
