Babcock Equipment is one of four divisions of Babcock Brands which, in turn, is a division of Babcock Africa, a wholly owned subsidiary of the LSE-listed Babcock International Group Plc. Founded in 1947, Babcock Equipment has shown phenomenal growth, largely due to its acquisition of leading brand names. The company, which is currently the third largest equipment supplier in South Africa, has consistently increased its market share across all its product ranges.
