SEW-Eurodrive South Africa’s Port Elizabeth branch has relocated to Unit 4, Aldo Business Park, Old Cape Road in Greenbushes, reflecting both the growth of the branch and the importance of the Eastern Cape region, according to branch manager, Francois Sieberhagen.
The Port Elizabeth branch was established initially as a service and repair branch, with minimal assembly taking place. “We have grown tremendously since then, to the point where we outgrew our previous facility completely,” explains Sieberhagen. “In order to keep up with market requirements, we needed larger premises. The new 800 square metre building is significantly larger than the original 300 square metre premises.
“The new premises allow us the space to employ more staff,” says Sieberhagen. “The addition of a mechatronics engineer allows us to improve our technical support and field service to our customers. An additional administrator removes some duties from the sales team, who can now focus on processing customer enquiries more efficiently.”
