About Us
Our History
RIMEX Africa Evolved from Chris Weston Importers in 1994.
Rimex Africa has distributed for Rimex Supply for the last 30 years.
Over 40 years ago, Chris Weston began his journey on the road to “Building Better Wheels”. Chris was a forward thinker and attuned to the changing marketplace – as mining trucks grew, the wheels had to be larger and stronger. He revolutionized the way wheels were manufactured by introducing the practice of fully machining the critical components that make up a wheel. This innovative style of manufacturing produced wheels that were stronger than any others on the market and could stand up to the extreme stresses being put on them by larger earth moving equipment and new tire technologies. Chris’s early efforts and hard work were not without setbacks and jogs in the road, but after 10 years immersed in the business, building a reputation from quality and growing his relationships with mining companies, he put everything on the line and opened a manufacturing facility in Surrey, British Columbia. As the demand and the size of vehicles continued to grow, so did RIMEX and its product offerings.
Rimex Supply has a heavy emphasis on compliance and quality and is committed to providing products and services that meet or exceed all customer requirements and relevant standards.
