South Africa's
Work Bakkie
Specialists
HunterSmith was founded by Paul Smith — an entrepreneur who built and ran a successful bakkie conversion business in New Zealand before bringing the concept home to South Africa.
Modular bakkie conversions are a massive, well-established industry across Australia and New Zealand. In South Africa, that market barely exists — and that's exactly the gap HunterSmith is here to fill.
The Values Behind
Every Build
These aren’t words on a wall. They’re the decisions we make every day — in how we design, how we build, and how we deal with every customer who trusts us with their work vehicle.
The thinking behind HunterSmith
To become South Africa's most trusted name in commercial bakkie solutions — the first brand a tradesman thinks of when it's time to set up his work vehicle.
To bring world-class modular bakkie solutions to South Africa — purpose-built for tradesmen, farmers and fleets who work hard every day.
South Africa's bakkie accessories market is dominated by leisure and 4x4 products. Nobody is seriously serving the commercial and trade market. That's the gap HunterSmith was built to fill.
A short founder quote — personal, honest, in Paul's voice. "I spent years building this concept in New Zealand. Coming home and seeing the gap in the South African market, I knew this was the right time and the right place."
