The new guard at Aveng Manufacturing is steadfast in its focus to grow and expand the 125-year old manufacturing business across the African continent. With combined specialist skills across water, effluent and mineral processing sectors this African market leader says the newly integrated management team is steadfast in its focus on customer satisfaction. With its established facilities in the USA, Europe and Australia, DFC effectively services the global mining and water markets. Aveng Manufacturing has 3 600 employees with 18 factories across Africa and exports to 129 countries. DFC provides innovative and sustainable infrastructure management solutions that focus on improving plant efficiencies and remains the leading local provider, manufacturer and supplier of valves and pumps in the water, effluent and mineral processing industries.

Aveng Manufacturing DFC is backed up by the holding company, Aveng Limited, a South African registered company listed in the Heavy Construction and Materials sector of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The group employs 55 000 people across the globe, its capability is underpinned by its broad footprint and multi-discipline construction and engineering offering.  Anchored in South Africa and focused on infrastructure, energy and mining opportunities.

For over 125 years, Aveng has evolved in character, capability and reach. Its origins lie in modest construction projects starting in 1889 following the Johannesburg gold rush but the group now boasts expertise in steel, engineering, manufacturing, mining, concessions, public infrastructure and water treatment. This Pan African and Australasian group continues to make its mark across the globe.

Global Water Woes
Water resource management is one of the greatest global challenges of the 21st century.  Around the world, businesses, governments, and policy makers alike must work together to move beyond business as usual, not only to increase the supply and improve the productivity of current resources, but also to reduce withdrawals by reshaping underlying economic activities. In South Africa, the challenge is complex: a semi-arid country characterised by low rainfall, limited underground aquifers, and a reliance on significant water transfers from neighboring nations.

South Africa faces difficult economic and social choices between the demands of agriculture, key industrial activities such as mining and power generation, and large and growing urban centres. The water situation is similarly complex.  According to McKinsey and Company’s base-case scenario, estimated demand for water in South Africa will reach 17.7-billion cubic metres in 2030. Current supply, by contrast, will equal only 15-billion cubic metres and is severely constrained by low levels of highly seasonal rainfall (about 50% of the world average), insufficient aquifers, and a dependency on water transfers between basins and from other countries (for example, South Africa purchases nearly 25% of its total water supply from nearby Lesotho). Aveng Manufacturing DFC focuses on reducing costs and energy usage for customers, improving and providing efficient and uninterrupted water supply.

Local Focus And Strength
Aveng Manufacturing DFC, continuously supports the local community, as a local leader, it has an obligation to create jobs in South Africa and to also support local foundries and other industries. Aveng Manufacturing DFC complies 100% with local content through the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework (Act 5 of 2000), it creates local jobs, buys locally and is fully compliant. The black economic ownership in the Aveng Group is substantial; it is 90% black owned and 30% black woman owned. It achieves a B-BBEE level 2 score with these codes changing early in 2015 requiring at least 51% black ownership Aveng Manufacturing DFC is ideally positioned to maintain its Level 2 score to secure work with government and municipalities. With its 100% owned rubber processing facility, developed over 60 years ago, Aveng Manufacturing DFC has a unique selling proposition that is hard to beat.
