Swifts is a South African specialist lubricant, aerosol and cleaner manufacturer. With over 400 manufactured SKU's our brand Herschel! is seen as the preferred choice in the automotive, mining, aviation and industrial market sectors through quality product and service excellence. Aside from the general car and bike care consumable product lines such as waxes, polishes, cleaners we manufacture, to OEM specifications, many specialist lubricant products. Some of these include high temperature moly greases for all bearing and sliding applications, dry bonded lubricants for chains and splines, silicone and synthetic based greases/lubricants for service for life applications and various thread seal compounds such copper, nickel and aluminum anti-seizes. We also specialize in the manufacturing and designing of bespoke products for exacting requirements of OEM given specific temperature, load, speed, materials and other environmental considerations.

The core business and focus has shifted over the last 30 years to include two very competitive retail brands in “EDGE” precision cutting tools and “HERSCHELL” specialized industrial cleaners and lubricants. Consumers of these leading brands nationally enjoy the same winning business principles of service, price and product excellence offered by the SWIFTS team located in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. Some consider SWIFTS informative selling techniques and on-going technical after-sales backup service a fresh approach to an otherwise technically deprived market sector.

The SWIFTS team have always actively applied their wealth of technical knowledge and acclaimed problem solving capabilities to develop products that meet the highest performance and quality standards.
EDGE and HERSCHELL products were born out of industry with the range and specifications formulated and refined to offer clients the very best value for money.

Fresh ideas, innovative merchandisers, meeting and exceeding customer’s expectations and considering ourselves as partners in our customer’s success are some of the tools that will contribute towards the sustainability of our products and services.
