Joined by his eldest son, Hendrik Roelof Schipper in 1958, the company moved to its first location in 1961, where a workshop building was erected in Raglan Street, which is located next to the N1 highway in Bellville. HR Schipper qualified as an artisan armature winder in 1965 after successfully completing his trade test at the Oliphantsfontein training centre. With improved facilities, the company grew until further extensions were required. The company was handed down from J Schipper to HR Schipper in 1979, which is the same year during which the company was formally registered as a private company. The company continued to grow through the 1980's, with numerous apprentices being trained during the 70's and 80's. This left HR Schipper with the responsibility of running the company on his own until he was joined by his eldest son Rudi in 1993, who had recently graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering. Leon had also completed his Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering. During 1997, a significant and long overdue extension to the building began and was completed by early This extension doubled the available workspace, while offices and staff facilities were also added. The increased space enabled improvements in both quality and productivity in the workshop, while administrative and financial efficiency improved with Leon Schipper completing his Bachelor of Commerce Degree at the University of Stellenbosch in In November 1999, J Schipper and Sons was appointed the Authorised Service Agent in Cape Town for the The Lincoln Electric Company, which is the world leader in welding technology. We have continued to meet all the necessary technical, space and financial resources requirements to carry out factory warranty repairs and equipment certifications to this day. This significant move was necessary as the old premises had become far too small for the steadily growing business. The new premises provided better access, parking and loading facilities for customers, additional space for equipment and stores, as well as a more productive workflow within the workshop. It would also allow for better management and quality control, thereby improving the quality of service provided to customers. He had been working for the company since the age of 16, and had only retired at the age of His strong work ethic and honesty, as well as his uncompromising attitude to customer service, has remained deeply ingrained in the culture of the company. This has enabled the company to both optimise and expand our operations, and ensures that the high standards of service that our customers have come to expect for over 6 decades, is maintained.
