There is currently a shortage of qualified engineers in South African and infrastructure development has experienced a boom in recent years, in part due to the massive civil engineering projects that were undertaken prior to South Africa hosting the Soccer World Cup. In every city in South Africa highways have been thrown into turmoil as large pieces of earth moving equipment literally reshape the arteries of commerce. The combination of manufacturing/engineering growth has seen the country boom, even as recession seemed to be the norm in economies across the globe. The growth of manufacturing/engineering has brought about its own challenges. Never before has South Africa’s skills shortage been brought into such sharp focus. Other challenges have also become apparent.
If South Africa is to play on the global economic stage then it must conform to international standards. Our exports will not be accepted at their destinations if the importers are not 100% satisfied that the products conform to international standards.
One of the areas where South African exporters have had to up their game is in the maintenance of hygiene standards. Today many exporters have outsourced their cleaning operations to international companies who have brought the latest in international technology to bear in an effort to maintain South Africa’s edge in the export of foodstuffs, especially fresh fruit and vegetables, where spoilage is an ever present threat.
These industrial cleaning applications are at present allowing this country to maintain its competitiveness; however exporters are continually on the lookout for the best cleaning technology at the best prices. This continual vigilance is the price that South Africa must pay to remain competitive.
For more information on the cleaning technology that is changing the way South African exporters do business contact us and we’ll be only too glad to demonstrate our world class manufacturing/engineering cleaning solutions for you.
