Springbok hooker Malcolm Marx and former UFC champion Dricus du Plessis – one of the Boks’ biggest supporters – are now teammates off the field as brand ambassadors for INGCO Tools South Africa.

The power pairing brings together two of South Africa’s toughest world champions.

Marx, renowned for his strength and precision in the Bok pack, now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Du Plessis, whose rise from Pretoria prodigy to global MMA star mirrors the grit and determination that define both the Springboks and the INGCO brand.

“It’s a sincere honour being part of the INGCO family – it’s the tools we know and trust,” said Du Plessis. “On the tracks and in our homes, on a professional level, thank you INGCO for supporting the proudly South African sport and culture we cherish.”

“Dricus embodies the very qualities and values that define the INGCO brand,” said Angelo Angelos, managing director of INGCO SA.

Marketing coordinator Brigitte Thysse added: “We’re bringing together two elite athletes who represent the best of South African performance and who constantly push beyond limits. That’s the fundamental ethos behind INGCO.”

The partnership will see Du Plessis feature in major brand campaigns and digital content throughout South Africa – reinforcing the message that, just like Marx and Du Plessis, winners choose INGCO Tools.
