Bushtech — Aluminium Canopies

About Bushtech

A dream built in aluminium

Built in Africa to take on the world. A family-run factory in Johannesburg, making the canopies we take on our own trips.

Our story

After more than 25 years in the 4×4 and motor vehicle industry, we saw a gap in the market: a one-of-a-kind, customisable aluminium canopy that is easy to live with every day and fully kitted out for an overland trip, without compromising space or functionality.

More than a decade on, that first canopy has grown into a full range of overlanding equipment: drawer systems, fridge slides, tray canopies, Suzuki Jimny gullwing doors and more, all designed, tested and manufactured at our own factory in Johannesburg.

We are a family-run business and avid overlanders ourselves. We know the difference between a product that photographs well and one that works at the end of a corrugated road, because we spend our own holidays finding out.

What we stand for

Passion

We love what we do. That passion is the commitment behind products that are useful now and for years to come.

Customer service

Satisfaction before, during and after a sale. Our commitment to a customer is not a one-time deal, which is why the servicing is yearly.

Quality

Before we entered the canopy market at all, the first goal was a product of outstanding quality and workmanship. It still is, on every new product.

Innovation

The automotive market never stands still and neither do we. From design to functionality, we keep pushing what a canopy can do.

Integrity

We test a product until we are completely satisfied. We would never sell a product we do not believe in, or use ourselves.

Made in Johannesburg

Every Bushtech canopy and accessory is designed, tested and manufactured at our own factory in Chartwell, Johannesburg. Owning the factory is the point: the tooling, the people and the parts supply are ours, so what we promise is ours to keep.

Africa’s landscape is home to some of the world’s toughest terrain, and it will either make a product or break it. That is exactly why we build and test here: a canopy that survives the Karoo and the Kalahari is ready for anywhere.

Proudly South African, worldwide

What started as one canopy for our own vehicles is now trusted by overlanders, tradespeople and touring operators across Africa, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australasia. The pressure-locked design you see on competitor brands today was pioneered here first.

Wherever a Bushtech travels, it carries the same idea it was founded on: making the dream of the long road real, one vehicle at a time.
