welcome to firstmotion

Founded in January 1997, our company began with a clear mission: to distribute high-quality new clutches. Over two decades later, we continue to uphold that commitment, supplying locally manufactured and globally sourced clutch products.
In 2000, we expanded into Gauteng, where we now operate a fully equipped facility dedicated to both new production and remanufacturing. With our in-house engineering workshop, we ensure reliable turnaround times for custom clutch work on trucks and tractors.

We are proudly part of the Orcrest Investment Group.

Authorised Economic Operator

Distribution Quality

Currently the Company operates from two warehouses in Cape Town and Kempton Park and which provides easy access to all our customers throughout South Africa and neighbouring countries.
The two warehouses are computer linked which enables us to provide excellent stock availability and service.
FIRSTMOTION will supply its products through appointed customers only. No direct supply to end-user.
