AM.CO.ZA: If Small Business Thrives, South Africa Thrives

At the heart of AM.CO.ZA is a belief that thriving small businesses build stronger communities and a stronger country.

When small businesses succeed, entire communities benefit. Jobs are created, families are supported, and the economy grows stronger. For Eric Yin, Founder and Managing Director of AM.CO.ZA, this isn’t just a belief - it’s the foundation of his business.

For 13 years, AM.CO.ZA has been at the heart of South Africa’s digital machine and printing industry, supplying advanced machinery for everything from T-shirts and mugs to signage and large-format printing. The company provides CNC routers, vinyl cutters, laser engravers, heat presses and more - tools designed to help entrepreneurs create, customise, and grow their business offerings.

But AM.CO.ZA’s support doesn’t end with the sale. Through its subsidiary Machine.Africa, the company offers expert in-house servicing and fast call-out support across Southern Africa.

“Our walk-in service centre is fully equipped for diagnostics, repairs and maintenance, while our mobile teams are ready to assist on-site. “That way, downtime is minimised, and businesses can keep moving,” Yin said.

Thirteen Years of Innovation

By providing solid machinery and business solutions, AM.CO.ZA has built a reputation as a proudly South African brand with a simple mission: empowering entrepreneurs.

“If small business thrives, the country thrives. That’s the driving belief behind everything we do at AM.CO.ZA,” Yin said.

Over the past 13 years, the company has become synonymous with reliable, cost-effective digital machinery and printing solutions that cater to businesses of all sizes.“We don’t just sell equipment; we sell achievements. Every time a small business owner uses our machines to start or grow their business, that’s an achievement that matters to us. Achievement Matters, that's what AM stands for” he added.

For over 13 years, this vision has driven the company to become a leading supplier of digital machinery and printing machinery in South Africa, empowering entrepreneurs with affordable solutions, training, and support.

Making Advanced Technology Accessible

As South Africa grapples with unemployment and sluggish economic growth, Yin believes small businesses are the key to recovery.

“Too many people are chasing quick money instead of building real businesses,” he said. “Small businesses that create jobs are the backbone of the economy, but machinery is often too expensive. That’s why we focus on budget-friendly, advanced machines - to make it possible for more people to enter the industry,” he added.

Globalisation and shifting manufacturing costs have reshaped the global economy, but Yin is confident in AM.CO.ZA’s approach.“The answer is smarter machines, better training, and giving entrepreneurs the tools to do what they do best. That’s where AM.CO.ZA comes in.

”Thriving small businesses build stronger communities and a stronger country.
