Walvis Bay, Namibia - Pupkewitz Megabuild has launched a dedicated in‑store Tool Hire service at its Walvis Bay branch in collaboration with Talisman Hire. This milestone marks a first-of-its-kind partnership in Namibia between two established building materials and hardware brands, offering customers a fully integrated, in-store equipment rental solution. This collaboration has been long in the making and is designed for one thing above all: making it easier for customers to get the job done.

Walvis Bay’s growing construction, logistics and industrial activity demand quick access to professional‑grade tools without the high upfront costs. By integrating a Talisman Hire counter inside Megabuild Walvis Bay, customers can now purchase materials and hire the right equipment in a single visit, supported by trained staff, reliable fleet availability and fast turnaround.

For coastal customers, this is about speed, reliability and choice, said Josephat Kustaa, Head: Business Development & Innovation at Pupkewitz Megabuild. You can buy your materials and hire the right tool on the same visit, with pro‑level support to keep projects moving.

Why the collaboration makes sense for Namibia

Megabuild is acknowledged on its official channels as Namibia’s oldest and largest building‑materials and hardware supplier, with 20+ branches across 17 towns and specialist formats serving both trade and retail customers nationwide. Pairing that national footprint with Talisman’s regional rental expertise creates a practical one‑stop model that reduces downtime, lowers project costs and improves planning for contractors, SMEs and DIY customers.

Designed to scale across Namibia

This model was long in development to align standards, systems and customer experience. With Walvis Bay live, Megabuild and Talisman will monitor hire patterns, turnaround times and seasonal demand to prioritise additional towns for roll‑out. Talisman’s regional network and playbook support multi‑site expansion, while Megabuild’s national coverage makes it easier to embed the service from coastal to inland markets.

Where and how to hire

The in‑store Tool Hire counter is available at Megabuild Walvis Bay. Talisman’s Walvis Bay page provides address, contact numbers and trading hours; customers can book in person, call ahead for availability, or set up accounts in advance.
