I am happy with what you're busy doing now, and I am pretty sure that you’ll perfectly do it, especially in PCS Automation, where we have benefitted a lot from your knowledges and experiences in Process Control Systems here at Glencore Mutanda Mining. We have learned a lot from you, and you helped us to improve our skills and optimize our process control system. For me, you are more than an expert, thank you a lot.

Julian MJM Electrical

Moore Process Controls (Pty) Ltd has worked with PCS Automation Solutions over the past 2 years. Johan Vermaak was contracted to assist me on a Siemens PCS7 project in the DRC. Johan Vermaak excelled in all of the mentioned activities. Due to his many years of experience he identifies areas that can be improved on that are not in the SOW. His suggestions and implementations are solid and trustworthy. Johan is a well mannered and respected engineer. I would highly recommend him to anyone who requests his services.
