Our History

Prior to 1 March 1998 - Minerva Technologies operated as a division of Minerva Systems (part of the Improvair Group owned by Murray & Roberts). Due to various changes within the structure of the group, the division was sold.

From 1 March 1998 to 31 August 2013 - Minerva Technologies CC was formed when Philip Tennet, then Technical Manager, took over the original division in its entirety. All personnel and equipment moved to the new company and premises in Glen Anil, thereby retaining all skills and expertise in-house.

In 2002, Minerva Technologies CC converted to Minerva Technologies (Pty) Ltd and continued to provide the South African fire detection market with excellent service in all areas under the management of Philip Tennet. In 2004, a relocation to Pinetown was necessary in order to keep up with the company’s growth and development.

Currently, Minerva Technologies is managed by Philip Tennet. Together with the strong and accomplished technical team, Philip is confident that Minerva Technologies will continue to hold the reputation of being the best fire and electronic security systems installer in South Africa.
