Practical Engineering That Works Where It Matters
Biotech Emporium CC is led by André Eksteen from Schoongezicht farm near De Rust in the Western Cape. BTE works with agricultural, feed processing, earthmoving, energy, and industrial clients to design, build, repair, upgrade, and support equipment that must perform reliably under demanding field and production conditions.
Hands-on, family-run engineeringOn site, in the workshop, and close to the equipment.
Engineering Leadership
André Eksteen
Mechanical engineer, consulting engineer, industrial designer, entrepreneur, and project development specialist.
Three Decades of Practical Engineering
From Diesel Mechanics to Industrial Project Development
André brings more than three decades of hands-on experience across mechanical engineering, diesel mechanics, agriculture, feed processing, earthmoving, industrial controls, energy systems, and specialised machinery development.
His work combines formal mechanical engineering training with a Gold Star Diesel Mechanic qualification and years of field experience. The result is a practical engineering approach: diagnose the real problem, design around the operating environment, and build systems that remain maintainable under pressure.
André has worked on projects across South Africa and internationally, including agro-industrial systems, energy concepts, feasibility studies, bankable business plans, commissioning, and operational optimisation.
