KITE 2025 addresses digitalisation of industrial manufacturing
February 2025

Charlene Hefer, portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions.
As organisations come to terms with the adoption of digitalisation processes, it is important that they align themselves with suppliers of industrial technology and services that understand their exact requirements. “There is no one-size-fits-all approach with customers, and this is where a visit to KwaZulu-Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition (KITE) can provide industry professionals with access to the best possible advice and solutions,” says Charlene Hefer, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions.
KITE, to be held at the Durban Exhibition Centre between 22 and 24 July 2025, is recognised as the leading platform for a diverse range of industrial technology products and services. With over four decades in the industry, the expo brings together knowledgeable suppliers and the organisations actively seeking solutions. By interacting with visitors and offering live demonstrations of current technology, exhibitors can offer the market the opportunity to see products in action before they make a purchasing decision.
KITE not only offers unrivalled opportunities for organisations to find the precise solutions for their applications, but also provides them with the opportunity to learn about current industry trends and changes in regulations at the free-to-attend SAIMechE Seminar Theatre and the one-day LEEASA conference.
“If you are in the process of undergoing a digitalisation programme, a visit to KITE should be on your calendar for July 2025. Not only are the exhibitors eager to impart their experience and expertise, but you will also be able to network with industry peers and share important information that will ultimately assist in the sustainability of your operations,” says Hefer.
