59 Years – Quality in Motion


Our history

Hillaldam has its roots in South Africa via the E.J.Dancer Group of companies.

The EJ Dancer Group started as a manufacturers representative in 1922, representing various overseas manufacturers from the UK, Norway, Holland, Germany, Spain and the USA for a wide range of products in several market sectors.

Two Agencies developed further from this representation.

  1. Distributorship of the Dupont range of products from the USA
  2. The distributorship of Hillaldam Sliding Door gear from the UK

In 1958, the distributorship of Sliding Door gear progressed into a manufacturing joint venture between Hillaldam in the UK and Hillaldam South Africa

In 1980, the EJ Dancer Group bought out the UK’s interest in the South African Operation, thus leaving Hillaldam South Africa as an independent manufacturer

In 2010, Hillaldam South Africa was bought out of the EJ Dancer Group and is now owned and run by the 4th generation of the Dancer family.
