GCT has taken South Africa by storm and become a rising star in the stainless steel drainage industry, with our innovative products, superior quality and outstanding service, the GCT brand is quickly becoming the first choice for many engineers, architects and contractors throughout Africa.
Our story
GCT Fabricators is a family business founded in 2016 by three individuals with both plumbing and engineering backgrounds, the company offers ample experience in fluid mechanics and metal fabrication. Prior to the company’s inception, GCT’s board of directors spent two years and countless funds on research and development in order to offer drainage products that are manufactured to international standards but at prices suitable for the South African market. Since 2016 GCT has provided professional drainage solutions to some of the world’s most iconic companies. With humble beginnings and only a handful of product offerings available in 2016, GCT now manufacture over 150 products for the food & beverage, oil & petroleum and medical industries. All GCT products are designed and manufactured in South Africa.
Spare yourself the trouble
Choosing products with readily available spare parts is vital because it ensures minimized downtime, cost-
GCT is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with strong spare parts support. Our replacement components are guaranteed to fit perfectly and function as intended.
From the mill to manufacturing
At GCT we only procure stainless steel sheets and sections from reputable local stockist's who supply material that is produced to recognised international standards like ASTM: A240/A240M and A480/A480M & EN: 10028-
All material used in GCT’s manufacturing process is mill certified and is supplied with full Mill Test Reports (MTR’s) or Mill Test Certificates (MTC’s).
Our reputation with our suppliers is equally as strong as our reputation with our customers.
Take a load off, we’ve got you covered
GCT gratings and covers are load tested to SANS: 51253/ EN: 1253. Rigorous testing ensures they are fit for purpose within a building environment and can safely handle the specified physical loads without damage or failure.
You can request a load test report from GCT, we provide comprehensive reports based on their testing and evaluations to help ensure the correct product is chosen for the specific application.
Caught in a pickle
Pickling/ passivating is by far the most important chemical surface treatment of stainless steel often ignored by substandard manufacturers in an effort to reduce costs. Unfortunately this leads to reduced corrosion resistance, resulting in rust, pitting, and ultimately premature component failure.
Unpickled stainless steel welds typically exhibit a brown or black discolouration known as "heat tint,".
GCT has one of the largest pickle/ passivation installations in South Africa where all products are carefully immersed in an acid bath following standards set out in ASTM: A380/A380M and EN: 2516.
Compliance, compliance and compliance
Simply being labelled "stainless steel" does not automatically make a product compliant. At GCT we have seen our competitors deliberately reduce the regulatory compliance of their products to cut costs and increase profit margins.
We like to say, bad designers hide behind aesthetics; good designers defend function. Some manufacturers in South Africa prioritise visual flair over utility, they often mask poor usability or compliance with their over-
At GCT “function first” is our design philosophy prioritising utility, practicality, performance and compliance over purely aesthetic or decorative elements.
Every GCT product is manufactured to their relevant SANS standard.
Penny wise and pound foolish
Cheaper products may seem appealing at first but the hidden costs of downtime, emergency repairs, and loss of productivity make them a poor investment.
A leaking grease trap or a collapsed floor drain can cause business operations to come to a halt. A poorly designed product is just an expensive paperweight if it fails to solve the problem it was built for..
At GCT quality is our priority, partner with us to build a more resilient, efficient, and profitable operation.

When manufacturing stainless steel drainage systems for the food and beverage sector, quality control is of paramount importance.
Did you know stainless steel is 100% recyclable?
Today, where environmental issues are so important in saving and preserving our world, stainless steel can emerge as an excellent recyclable material. For decades stainless steel can be continuously recycled without loss of quality.
A study done in 2019 concluded that, on average 95% of stainless steels are recycled once they reach their end of life, with 70% used to make new stainless steels and 25% used to make new carbon or special steels.
Unlike HDPE or other plastics, if stainless steel is not recycled and manages to find its way to a landfill or disposal site, it will have no detrimental effect to the soil or groundwater.
Where and how?
All GCT products are manufactured at our factory in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Some of our manufacturing processes include, GTAW, GMAW, & ERW welding, CNC bending & plasma cutting, sheet metal drilling, rolling, shearing & stamping, stainless steel pickling/ passivating, polishing and grinding.
All our products are manufactured by skilled artisans under careful supervision, after which each product is inspected for welding, assembly and surface defects.
