Through our innovative products and highly sophisticated manufacturing process, Vula Drilling offers the lowest cost per meter solution for drill bits available in South Africa today.

History

Our experience in the manufacturing of drill bits originated back in 1998 when we started to manufacture taper drill bit bodies for some of the major role players currently in the market.

VULA Drilling was founded in 2005 after the directors decided to enter the market directly with complete manufactured products as an OES.

Through our experience we gained we identified the possibility for further improvements in the drill bits and some of these unique improvements like the spiral and straight flushing groves running the full length of the body have been patented.

The button fitting process was also re-engineered and we believe it to be superior to that of any other manufacturer.

In March 2022, South African strata control products company Fabchem Mining (Pty) Ltd, bought Vula Drilling (Pty) Ltd.
