Core Nature of Business:
An earthmoving company that offers expert services to the highly competitive wine and fruit industries, state departments and local government.
From Groundbreaking Work to a Well-Established Company
Môreson was founded by Gawie Viljoen. His main focus was mechanical engineering and earthworks as services to the agricultural sector. Alwyn Visser (Snr), Alwyn Visser (Jnr) and Johan du Preez took over the company and developed it into an earthmoving company that specialises in land preparation and the construction of dams for commercial farming enterprises.
Môreson Grondverskuiwers, in association with Africa Biomass Company, also entered into the very important new territory of “green” agricultural practices and over the past few years acquired a fleet of the world’s best recycling equipment for the processing of various kinds of green waste that had previously been burnt. Fruit trees, grapevines, unwanted windbreaks, municipal green waste and sawmill waste are now converted into mulch for ground cover, compost or useful boiler fuel to be used instead of carbon fuels.
Community
The company is a community-orientated business that supports the community in various fields, for example earthworks done for the phenomenal Jakes Gerwel Technical High School in Bonnievale and also Die Herberg Kinderhuis Thunderchild project.
100th Anniversary
In 2024, Môreson Earthmoving celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Over this period, Môreson has grown from a company that performed threshing work with steam tractors and handled general engineering tasks to an earthmoving company specialising in land preparation, mass excavations, digging pipelines and drainage ditches, building and restoring earth dams, and recycling biomass.
The company maintains high standards with a fleet of nearly 100 purpose-built and specialised machines, representing the latest technology, both from the industry and self-developed. This focus on standards and technology has led to a partnership with Africa Biomass Company, which is also celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
Môreson Earthmoving’s success is built on a foundation of a century of quality in specialist services. We are also grateful for a loyal customer base and community, without whom we would not have reached this proud 100-year milestone. Our commitment to and support for the community we serve are deeply rooted in our strong family values, and it is our calling to give back to our community.
Looking to the future, our goal is to build on long-established business relationships while looking forward to forging new ones.
Thank you, Father, for blessing our work.
