Electra Mining Africa: five days, five themes
September 2018
News
Taking place from 10-14 September at the Expo Centre in Nasrec, Johannesburg, leading players in the mining, manufacturing, electrical and power industries are looking forward to engaging with visitors and sharing information on their latest products, services and solutions.
“There will be an exciting line-up of new products and services, live demonstrations and free-to-attend seminars at this year’s Electra Mining Africa and visitors will benefit from the insight and information they gain,” says Gary Corin, managing director of Specialised Exhibitions Montgomery, organisers of the show. “New technologies and innovation are influencing the way we do business and it is imperative that those in the industry keep up-to-date with these trends.”
“Brand new at Electra Mining Africa this year is that each day will be themed differently,” says Charlene Hefer, Electra Mining Africa’s event director. “The first day, for example, focuses on the future of skills development. We are launching a brand new artisans training area in Hall 10 where we are going to focus on all the different training options that are available to artisans. We’re going to have competitions there and demonstrations. We really want to encourage the youth and the students to go into these fields as well and this is a great showcase.”
The Artisans Training Centre has been developed in partnership with The SAJ Competency Training Institute and the South African Equipment Export Council (SACEEC), and will be a fully functional workshop where learners will demonstrate their skills at boilermaking, welding, electrical, fitting, millwright, turning, and JIG and die making.
Hefer explains that the second day will focus on new product launches with a few of the top ones being highlighted. “Day three is our Proudly South African day,” she adds. “We want to celebrate that we’ve been doing business here for 46 years and that we’ve got over 80% of local companies showcasing their products at the show. On the Thursday, we will put the spotlight on safety and on the last day, Friday, we will celebrate our diversity.”
Top industry speakers will present at the conferences hosted by leading industry associations SAIMM, LEEASA and WIMSA, which will be taking place alongside Electra Mining Africa. Further knowledge and learning will be central to the SAIMechE hosted daily free-to-attend seminars.
