Strengthening industry through strategic partnerships at KITE 2025

June 2025 News

The KwaZulu-Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition (KITE) 2025 isn’t just an exhibition, it’s a powerhouse of industry collaboration. By aligning with reputed and recognised industry bodies such as the South African Institution of Mechanical Engineering (SAIMechE), the Lifting Equipment Engineering Association of SA (LEEASA), the South African Capital Equipment Export Council (SACEEC), the Society for Automation, Instrumentation, Mechatronics and Computer Engineering (SAIMC) and the Production Technologies Association of South Africa (PtSA), KITE ensures that visitors and exhibitors gain access to authoritative insights, technical expertise and high-impact networking opportunities.


Charlene Hefer, portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions.

“These partnerships elevate the exhibition from a standard trade show to a dynamic knowledge-sharing platform, where the latest industry trends, regulatory updates and technological advancements take centre stage,” says Charlene Hefer, portfolio director at Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group.

For exhibitors, this alignment enhances credibility and exposure, offering direct engagement with decision-makers, industry influencers and regulatory leaders. Visitors benefit from exclusive access to seminars, conferences and live competitions that provide practical solutions, expert guidance and hands-on experience with the latest innovations. “By fostering these strategic relationships, KITE 2025 solidifies its position as a must-attend event where industries don’t just showcase progress, they shape the future together,” adds Hefer.

KITE has been serving the KwaZulu-Natal region for 48 years consistently bringing current industrial technology to the local market. Visitors will be able to find solutions that will improve productivity, increase worker satisfaction, wellbeing and safety, and increase sustainability efforts in an ever-changing economy. These are some of the visitor attractions that make a visit to the expo a priority:

Free-to-attend SAIMechE Seminar Theatre: A well-rounded three-day seminar programme provides a wealth of information on current industry trends and regulations.

EEASA Lifting Conference: This one-day conference is a valuable source of information for people working in the lifting industry.

LEEASA Forklift Operator Competition: Launching this year, this event focuses on the skills of leading forklift operators.

New Products and Innovations awards: Co-hosted by the South African Capital Equipment Export Council (SASEEC) and judged by Eric Bruggeman, CEO of SACEEC, the awards recognise excellence and innovation in both local and international industrial technology product design.

“There is so much to see at KITE. With exhibitors running ongoing live demonstrations, visitors can see solutions in action before making a purchasing decision. We encourage visitors to pre-register on the KITE website at www.kznindustrial.co.za to avoid queues at the expo. The website is also a valuable source of updated information on the seminar sessions,” says Hefer.
