SEW-Eurodrive breaks ground on new South African head office, factory
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
Drive and control technologies specialist SEW-Eurodrive on October 1 started construction on its new R200-million head office and factory in Aeroton, Johannesburg.
Tasneem Bulbulia:
The new facility will serve as both a factory and the new South African headquarters. Over a three- to five-year period, the factory will be fitted with Industry 4.0 compliant technologies, including automated assembly machines and guided vehicles, which the company expects will cost at least another R200-million. The company is aiming for the new factory to be as automated as possible, to allow it to remain globally competitive.
SEW-Eurodrive South Africa MD Raymond Obermeyer explains the construction process.
