South Africa’s manufacturing output has continued to decline owing to infrastructure constraints, labour challenges and the global economic downturn, impacting job security and commercial activity.

Join Creamer Media and Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery on July 31, 2024, at 14:00 for a Local Manufacturing webinar in which a panel of experts will discuss strategies to turn around South African manufacturing.

Facilitated by SACEEC CEO Eric Bruggeman, our panel members, including Shell Lubricants South Africa technical and services manager Mpho Mokwena, Nedbank manufacturing national manager Amith Singh, SEIFSA COO Tafadzwa Chibanguza and ACTOM group CEO Mervyn Naidoo, will unpack questions such as:

  • South African manufacturing has been on the decline for several years. Can this trend be turned around?
  • Are incentives encouraging the use of local content in projects proving effective?
  • What innovative financing solutions are available to help South African manufacturers expand their operations?
  • How best can local manufacturers reduce their environmental footprint and improve efficiency?
  • What is the role of technology in modernising manufacturing processes and improving competitiveness?
  • How are South African manufacturers adapting to the country’s energy, water and logistics crises?
  • How are events, such as the Local Southern African Manufacturing Expo, collocated at the Electra Mining Africa exhibition, helping to drive local procurement?
