In October 1987 Kris Guttzeit founded the business Windhoek Hire Sales & Services. He started with 2 air compressors, one Nissan Safari pickup and one general foreman called Johannes Oranje being in charge of delivering and maintaining the compressors, as well as the small tools like mixers and compactors. Air Compressors The first big job they landed, was the hiring of compressors to the Municipality of Windhoek for the demolition of the old hostel in Katutura. The compressors operated for three weeks, 24 hours per day.

The income generated was reinvested in the business with the purchasing of a concrete mixer, a generator set and obviously more air compressors, the core product to the corporation. During this period the spouse of Kris, Brigitte, joined the business to take care of the business accounting. During 1988 the corporation acquired two agencies, Transplant Namibia (Pty) Ltd and Form Scaff (Pty) Ltd. With Transplant Namibia, they expanded their business to mobile crane hire, transport, the moving of safes, and general rigging jobs.
