Tyre manufacturer Continental Tyre South Africa has appointed Ramoabi Moeng as plant manager of its Gqeberha facility, which celebrates its seventy-fifth anniversary this year, after he served as deputy plant manager for a year.

“Ramoabi’s extensive experience in maintenance, production, manufacturing engineering and technology will be put to great use as we strive for the highest levels of quality, efficiency and sustainability for our plant in a complex and highly competitive business environment,” says Continental Tyre South Africa MD Martin Buday.

The plant is the German tyre manufacturer’s only plant in Africa and produces world-class tyres for the original-equipment and replacement tyre sectors in South Africa, as well as other markets around the world.

The Gqeberha manufacturing operations are an essential part of the company's local and export business, Buday says.

Moeng started his career in the manufacturing sector in 1997 and spent 11 years in vehicle production, including a year undergoing training in Germany. He joined a pharmaceutical company in 2008 where he headed up the engineering, production and operational projects portfolios for seven years.

He joined Continental Tyre South Africa as maintenance manager in 2016 and was selected to lead the manufacturing engineering technologies team in 2018, a position he held until being appointed deputy plant manager in August 2021.

“Leading the Continental Tyre South Africa manufacturing operations in South Africa is a fantastic opportunity, and I look forward to cementing the trust placed in our company by our customers and stakeholders alike.

“The various roles I have held at Continental have given me a great foundation and technical depth, particularly in engineering, production and quality, while also expanding my business and financial management acumen,” Moeng says.

“We are in a fast-changing industry with a growing emphasis on technology and the demand for lower rolling resistance tyres to reduce emissions, increasingly stringent requirements relating to weight and noise levels to improve ride quality and delivering high production complexity to meet the demand from our local and global export customers,” he highlights.

“Simultaneously, we are implementing our carbon dioxide reduction roadmap to reduce our impact on the environment, deal with the energy challenges and contribute towards sustainability.

“To achieve these goals we are proactively investing in our infrastructure, plant equipment and people to ensure that we maintain our relevance in Continental’s global manufacturing network while delivering value,” Moeng states.

He has a National Diploma in Electrical Engineering and a Diploma in Business Management, as well as a qualification in Advanced Maintenance Management from the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, in Germany. He completed a Management Development programme in 2006 and received his MBA degree from Nelson Mandela University in 2012.
