JH LAB
JH Lab Inc. was initially established as Johan Havenga Dental Laboratory in 1997 by Johan and Hannelie Havenga. They have directed the lab from its inception to its current position as one of the leading dental laboratories in South Africa.
Johan and Hannelie obtained their Higher Diploma in Dental Technology in 1995 at the Pretoria Technicon (currently known as Tshwane University of Technology). Johan graduated with distinction. Since they started the laboratory, they have ensured work of the highest quality.
They continually increased their knowledge and experience. The aim was to develop the lab to be a trendsetter in using the latest technology available.
