Background & organisation

Independent thinking since 2001.

Based in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, Papillon has successfully provided professional engineering and consultancy services to the electricity industry since its founding.

As a small, competitive firm, we offer specialised expertise with direct access to senior consultants. Our work spans numerous African and overseas countries, supported by long-standing client relationships.

We also align with selected consulting companies as sub-consultants or joint-venture partners where complementary skills create a stronger project team. Strong relationships with leading equipment manufacturers keep us close to important technological advances.

To capitalise on market opportunities, Papillon established PSD Projects, which later became the independent company known as MHVT.
